Upcoming Shows

Word Jazz

 

March 27, 7:30-9:15 PM, Sharp Nine Gallery Jazz Club, Durham

Word Jazz, Actors Improv’s mashup of improvised theater and music, returns to Sharp Nine! Inspired by Ken Nordine’s eponymous 1957 album, Word Jazz is comprised of scenes based on improvised monologues and live music by a quintet. Spontaneous songs also figure into the mixture and it’s all initiated by audience suggestions.

Tickets: $30 general, $20 student

Beginnings

April 17, 7:30-9:15 PM, The ArtsCenter, Carrboro

As it’s the end of our season, we’ll be looking at beginnings–naturally, for every ending suggests a new start. This five-episode show will feature improvised music and songs. As always, it’ll be entirely made up on the spot and based on your suggestions.

Tickets: $25 general, $15 student
