Lady & The Bear is Jesse Sieger-Walls and Lisa Slap, improvisers and friends that enjoy creating and telling stories to audiences. Based on a single audience suggestion, Lisa and Jesse build a story with multiple characters whose lives may or may not interweave. The form of the show is similar to a one-act play. We’d call it improv comedy, but sometimes the story reveals itself as a drama or a fantasy or a dream...we’ll call it improv and leave it at that.
Born across the globe, seven diverse and unique individuals were summoned together by pheromones and mystical forces to become Colin. The Colin Collective has a wide spectrum of backgrounds, from acting to computer science to juggling to transportation logistics. Based out of Kansas City, The Colin Collective has been performing long form improvisation and being generally silly since 2015.
We are Thoughtful Lovers. We hope you are too!
Yo Nicky! Is a longform exploration of theme using shared duologs followed by thematic scenes. Wrap it up with a shared monologue and world collisions.
Erinne will take you journey of nostalgia, feels, and secondhand embarrassment. She is just a girl with a JanSport backpack, a piano, and 7 of her real, actual diaries from her adolescent years. With a suggestion of a calendar date, I will read exactly what is on the page (no cuts, no embellishments) and interrupt myself whenever I feel a song coming on (you might recognize some of them, though I've changed the lyrics.) Come laugh, cringe, and time travel with me from Lady Marmalade to Lady Gaga
Group Shower performs an improvised kids show called Winkle. Imagine Sesame Street and Days of Our Lives had a baby. Mind Blown. Winkle combines fun goofy short form improvised game segments with a long-form narratives pieced between games.
