Are we even here?
A surreal improvised comedy
Fridays and Saturdays 
Jan. 24 thru Feb. 8
7:30 p.m. / $16

For so many of us, questions about our existence cannot help but arise. We often find ourselves pondering – as did many of the avante-garde, - What would happen if “I suddenly lost the whole existential thread of my life?” We might ask ourselves, while “sitting in some corner of the universe, by a smoky dark café, in front of polished bits of metal, amid the comings and goings of large sweet-tempered women, by what road of madness do I end up stranded under this arch, which is actually the bridge they call the sky.*

Am I right??

And yet, we somehow stay grounded in reality, at great distances from the far reaches of the mind’s imagination, dreams and desires.

But. What might happen if we didn’t?  What if one question sent us actually spinning into a whirlwind of dreams, visions and even more questions?

The actors in this improvised play will grasp hold of the absurdity that would certainly ensue and, with the simplest of prompts, we will help you explore what could happen when complex people ask wildly complex questions, and are given the means to answer them.
