Company Members Dave Pierini, Tara Sissom, Stephanie Altholz and Jason Kuykendall perform classic long-form improvisation for a late-night audience. Coming out of Chicago’s comedy scene, the Harold has been used by famous improv groups like Second City which developed comedic talent such as Stephen Colbert, Steve Carell and Tina Fey. Based off an audience suggestion, performers will create a one-night-only improvised play, so every performance will be unique! As an exciting caveat, if we do achieve “maximum occupancy” (aka a sell-out show), we buy everyone pizza!

Doors open 30 minutes prior to showtime. This show is 16 and up

Conflict photographer Mia wakes up in the Istanbul apartment of her on-again, off-again girlfriend after being found unconscious at the scene of a massacre she was photographing. Mia can’t even remember being there, but she wired photos of the site hours before she was found. The two women resume their volatile push-pull when Mia’s well-meaning Californian mother arrives from the US, trying to help unravel what happened to her daughter.

“Thought-provoking, challenging and complex. Those attributes alone make Unseen worth seeing, but it’s all that and more.” –ASHLAND NEWS
