Lebanese/Redneck Wedding and The Awesome 80s Prom are Back By Popular Demand!

To celebrate our 1st year of interactive improv comedies, two of our most popular shows are back for one weekend each in July.

After the SOLD OUT run, The Lebanese / Redneck Wedding will return for 2 more performances! July 8th & 9th!

In the style of Tony ‘n’ Tina’s Wedding, THE LEBANESE / REDNECK WEDDING is an original interactive, improv comedy. William (Billy) Couri is a freshman congressman having just been elected to the House of Reps. His bride Trina (Not short for Katrina) Mott is a weekend on location reporter for WHOI-TV. Hilarity ensues when Billy’s traditional Lebanese family (a pillar in Peoria) and Trina’s gun toting, NASCAR loving, camo wearing kin mix!

Go “Back in Time” again with our wildly popular The Awesome 80s Prom on July 22nd & 23rd.

Called “Totally Rad” by the New York Times, THE AWESOME 80S PROM is an interactive show in the style of Tony ‘n Tina’s Wedding set at Wanaget High’s Senior Prom . . . in 1989!
