THE STORY: In today’s frenzied and fast-paced world, who has time to lounge about the theatre basking in the glow of the most significant dramatic works of our time? Well, 11,400 Season Subscribers…but if you’re not among that group, or if you were out of town and missed your favorite play this season, the brutally efficient cast of Geva Comedy Improv has condensed, reduced, truncated, abbreviated and distilled 7 Mainstage productions and 14 Rochester TheatreFest productions into one single 90 minute performance.

Sherlock Holmes: The Final Adventure
Doubt
Cabaret
A Christmas Carol

THE EXPERIENCE: A sharply witty theatrical tour-de-force that will leave you dizzy with excitement.

THE BUZZ: Critics are raving “This has the potential for greatness, it could also be a spectacular trainwreck…Live action theatrical cliff notes for the hurried patron of the arts…theater-goers will never sit through a full length performance again!”

THE FINE PRINT: Strong language and adult content. Recommended for age 16 and up.

TR travels through time to celebrate with himself

Unable to find anyone to go grab a beer with Saturday evening, TR ingeniously created a time machine so he could travel fifteen minutes back into the past and drink a beer with himself. "Really," TR remarked later, "I am the best company, so this just made sense to do." TR conversed with his past self regarding the quality of the beer he was drinking and his impeccable sense of style. "I then warned my past self that if he doesn't build a time machine immediately and travel back to this moment, none of this will ever happen, creating a time paradox and ripping apart the space-time continuum," TR explained. "Of course, I already knew I would build the time machine, I had the idea for it before I even got there."
