The Improv and Sketch Invasion with Rockola, Phat Beethoven, and Sandino presents Blind Date
Rockola
Rockola is a series of improvised scenes built on the songs that you, the audience choose at the beginning of a show. The improvisers (Chris Blair, Megan Leahy, and Travis Sharp) will fill up the ol' juke box with anything your heart and ears desire, from AC/DC to Taylor Swift...and then the fun begins. Scenes can be inspired by anything from lyrics to dance movements. Essentially, Rockola is one big improvised mixtape - and you're the recipient. Bring your ipod or iphone to the show and maybe they will use your music.
Phat Beethoven
Phat Beethoven is four best friends who live in Chicago. They write through improvisation to blend their dark sensibility with their brotherly rapport, creating a show that is honest even at its most absurd. The group takes the classic one-act sketch revue and infuses it with character narrative, innovative transitions, and a genuine enjoyment of each other on and off stage.
Sandino presents Blind Date
Sandino is one of the Upright Citizens Brigade in NYC's premier house teams and is currently the veteran Harold team. Members include several UCB tour Company performers and also UCBNY's artistic director. They are all very friendly and agreeable people.
