The Society Comedy Troupe May the Fourth Be With You
The MAIN
Saturday, May 4, 8:00 p.m.

At The Society Comedy Troupe, a cast of professional actors and comedians will take you on a comedy adventure that is never the same twice. Most shows begin with a short warm-up to get the audience ready, then our Players take the stage and the spontaneity begins. Because they get suggestions for scenes and seek input from the audience, you can – and will – directly affect the show. The show is never the same twice, and you never really know what might come next. For more information, click [here].

Thursday, May 9, 7:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m.
