Before the Ampersand Theater has its Grand Opening, we'll be doing a smaller-scale run-through to work through any kinks and get feedback from our guests: it's the AMPERSAND THEATER STRESS TEST!
And for this very special show, Ampersand Theater Company is proud to present SAID AND DONE, a unique combination of story slam and improv. Each show features a unique theme to serve as inspiration for the comedy. In honor of the Stress Test, this month's theme is STRESSED OUT.
Have a memorable story about a time YOU were stressed? Tell us about it! Whether it’s a job interview gone wrong or a first-time-parenting fail, confronting a serious diagnosis or cramming for a final, we want to hear about it. Come to the show with a short (3 to 5-minute) prepared monologue, and let us know you'd like to participate. Speakers will be selected to share their tales during the show.
After your story is all SAID AND DONE, our ensemble (Mike Betette, Fredrick James Dakin III, Pat Dwyer, Patrick Guiney, Audra Handschke, Sam Hanson, Sean Keith, and Renee Ann) will perform a montage of improvised scenes inspired by it!
You'll also see longform improv from House Tina Team THRIFT SHOP (Ryan Dembiec, Pat Dwyer, Jasmine Gonzalez, Robin Lewis, Tony Mayer, Tom Stadler, and Luke Summers). What comedy treasures will they discover this time?
Don't miss out on this historic event!
It all takes place at the brand-new AMPERSAND THEATER, located at 628 N. 10th Street near the Marquette campus. The theater is fully ADA-accessible, with a limited bar and nearly 300 parking spaces within a two-block radius.
