The Improv Company—PTE – Cherry Karpyshin Mainstage

Extremely ambitious improv, trying to mix comedic training and improv impulses with serious storytelling and character arcs. All the actors involved are extremely talented, and for every joke that got the entire audience laughing, there was another plot beat that not only logically followed what came before (no easy feat in improv, to be clear) but also deepening relationships and characterization. Like all improv, what you get changes entirely from show to show, but with talent like this you’re in great hands even if what you get isn’t guaranteed.
