On Friday, November 25 at 8pm we've got short form improv group The Newbs followed by the one-man show “It’s Momma” created by and starring OKC actor/improviser Rory Littleton (Everybody and Their Dog) in which he plays an exuberant woman known as Momma inspired by the many strong female influences in his life. The 8pm closes out with the Elizabethan antics of Fortune's Fools, as they create a totally improvised one act play in the style of William Shakespeare!

On Friday, November 25 at 10pm we've got the OKC Improv debut of our students from Casady High School showcasing their razor sharp short form chops followed by
the rapid fire and idiosyncratically explosive comedy of C-4. The 10pm closes out with with the hybrid musical comedy of nationally recognized duo Twinprov, recently returned from performing at Improv Festivals in Austin, Honolulu, Kansas City, and Bonner Springs.
