Tech Nightmare returns in the 7/19/2012 Free Fringe

Post by Roy Janik »

A touching retrospective..
The return of a legend...
and a journey into fantasy.

That's the plan for The Free Fringe, 7/19/2012: The Twenty-Sixth Show!

Confessions of an Improv Class, produced by Jon Bolden

Jon says:

“I had the same group of students from Level 1 to Level 5. By the time we closed our series of graduation shows, featuring story telling, we had a pretty cool story about ourselves.

It was my first time leading students all the way through an improv program, and obviously their first experiences with improv.

We thought a great way to say goodbye to a few folks that have to part ways was to have one last show using our level five format (the living room) and basing our stories on experiences with the class and how they got into improv.”

The Triumphant Return of The TECH NIGHTMARE, with Cortney DeAngelo & Cindy Ward

One of the most surprisingly delightful shows of the 43 Hour Improv Marathon this year was The Tech Nightmare. Cortney and Cindy controlled the show from the booth, playing sound effects and music at random, and screwing with the lights randomly. They also dolled out punishments harshly and with evil fervor. This is also the now famous show where the audience took over the show and sang Bohemian Rhapsody in the dark.
Who knows what will happen this time. A whole new crew of victims lines up for the slaughter.

Headliners and Hosts: Firth & Arjet Presents Once Upon A Time!

Jessica and Kristin create a brand new fantasy story each week, using fairy tale elements provided by the audience before the show. Princesses, dragons, castles, swamps, magic lamps, poisonous apples – you help guide what gets added to the tale. Will the heroes have a happily ever after or a grim demise? An audience vote before the ending will decide.
