Supporting HUGE Improv Theater 24-Hours at a Time
HUGE supports improvisers in all stages of their career. We are an artist-led non-profit theater that is dedicated to supporting the Twin Cities improv community through performance and education. Funds raised from this event will go toward paying off construction debt incurred in opening HUGE just under a year ago.
What exactly is an Improv-a-thon? Within days, about 65 improvisers signed on without waiting for an answer to that question. This is one of the many reasons we all love HUGE:
The answer is yes before you can finish the question.
HUGE will host 30 talented improv teams during a 24 improv marathon on Give To The Max Day, November 16, 2011. Five adventurous teams will put their sleep deprivation in the hands of donors. Any team can tag in founding artists Jill Bernard and Butch Roy to join them on stage at any point during the Improv-a-thon. Audiences contribute their encouragement and pay what they can.
If you haven’t experienced long-form improv yet, it is spontaneous, unscripted theater that draws on audience suggestion. The result is an immediacy and honesty that’s usually comedic, sometimes dramatic, and always compelling.
We are grateful to the following groups for contributing their time and talent to this event:
Bannister | Batarang! | Bearded Men Improv | Chocolate Biscuit | Chuck Schuegen: Live! | Explorer's Club | Ferrari McSpeedy | Grandpa Mojo's Moonshine Revival | Grasshoppah | High-top | Interplanetary Appeal | Last Action Movie | MMMCAD | Morph | Mustache Rangers | Quixotic Wannabe Napalm | Sir Laffs A lot | Splendid Things | The 301-ders! | The 3rd Kind | The Bennets | The Denyables | The Minneapples | The Radio Company | The Staff | TopGunHigh5 | Walrus |
About HUGE Improv Theater
HUGE Improv Theater is an artist-led company dedicated to supporting the Twin Cities improv community through performance and education. Opened in December 2010, the 100-seat theater in the LynLake neighborhood of Minneapolis stages 500+ unscripted works a year. Regarded as a complement to the established theater community, HUGE is the first theater of its kind in Twin Cities and one of very few in the country.
