It's amazing in a festival setting, and that's why we stole it from CombustionFest.

oh dear god, i would love for this to come about.

for some reason, this past week, i've been prov-fantasizing about an impromptu duo consisting of Jill Bernard and Ashley Opstad from L.A.. i think the sheer amount of joy emanating from that stage might save the world.

Mad Wolf (Double Cute Fierceness): Madi Goff and Meghan Wolff, improv set during the disappearance of the wilderness frontier in the early 1900s, when men were men and women rode horses and were more awesome than the men. I pretend that if I talk about this enough it will happen, despite the fact that we now live in two different cities.

Farce Majeure: a cross between french farce and apocolypse! where cataclysm and social conventions collide, dystopian frivolity ensues. could be with one member of either cast, i suppose.

Say Rah -- Sarah Marie & Sara Farr; Sarah Maria plays with and sings to a variety of puppet characters

Far from Center -- Sara Farr & Kathy-Rose Center improvise scenes inspired by their cats' antics

Too Far Gone -- Sara Farr plus a guest star that never shows up, so she has to play all their parts in exaggerated caricature (technically a solo show)

The Few and Far Between -- Sara Farr (as a person) plays straight man to a few crazy puppet characters (all played by Clay Towery)

Katz & Dogs -- Howard Katz (as a person) + Peter Rogers (as a bunch of puppet dogs) in heated discussion on anything suggested from the audience

Sweet Lamb -- Caitlin Sweet & Jeremy Lamb

Major Spaz -- Marc Majcher & David Zimmerman
