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.

From the Mainstage:
Sherlock Holmes: The Final Adventure
Doubt
Cabaret
A Christmas Carol
Bad Dates
The Piano Lesson
Pride and Prejudice

From the Nextstage:
Tea at Five... PUSH Physical Theatre
The Fantasticks... Frozen
I Am My Own Wife... Rapunzel
Smokey Joe’s Café... Very Truly Yours, Gilbert and Sullivan
Plaid Tidings... Side Show
All My Sons... May God Strike Me Dead...
Talking Heads... Dames at Sea


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.
