DON'T BET ON IT in August!!

"Don't Bet On It" is August's Instant Theatre theme!!!


WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 27th @ 8pm

Sometimes your horse makes it across the finish line...
And sometimes the horse falls flat on its ass- taking you down with it.

The moral being: If you think the outcome is certain- DON'T BET ON IT!!!!

What if the laws of gravity suddenly failed?
What if your girlfriend said no when you dropped to one knee?
What if that Fed-Ex package simply did not arrive in the 24 hours promised?
What if you woke up transformed into a cockroach?

Our playwrights will show us the rug being pulled out from under all sorts of crazy stuff. So come check it out!!

REMEMBER: it's a FREE hour of theatre- that's right- NO charge!

As if Instant Theatre isn't spontaneous enough, you guys add audience participation! What a fascinating exploration of theater. Interactive theater is unpredictable: audiences can surprise you, mock you, delight you, inspire you, support you, ignore you, or make you look better. Interesting how the playwrights used the audience in different ways(from puppeteers to participants to jurors) and how the plays all tended to have fewer characters. A great night of instant theater!!
