Improv at Thursdays!

The Cellar Dwellers are excited to announce that we are doing a handful of shows at our old stomping ground, Thursday's Restaurant, over the next three months! Thursday's is best known for holding bi-annual concerts with The Clarks, as well as other great local bands... and us!

The Dwellers started their touring, after our Strata-Cellar shows ended, at Thursdays back in 1999-2000. After a few years of doing sketch shows there, we switched it up and now enjoy a few all-improv shows there a year. Thursday's is a great restaurant/bar/venue and has an atmosphere that is great for theater improvisation (and the occasional drunkard yelling suggestions from the bar never hurts!)

I know what you are thinking "But they do improv every Friday, every Friday, for $2 donations... why would I come here and pay $5?" And the answer to that is simple: because this is a completely different experience. Our FNIBC shows are workshops, places to experiment and allow the audience to learn and play some improv games. This is quite different from our on-the-road improv shows... these shows are not only more professional, but they are also more streamlined and scene-oriented. You won't see as many "games," but rather scenes that show off our improv skills (which have been handed down to us by The Second City Improv School in Cleveland). Our Thursday's Improv shows sometimes also feature special guests, like Pittsburgh Cellar Dweller Mike the Tall or members of other improv troupes in the state. It's an evening to behold, because how often do you see professional improv that's not edited down to thirty minutes by ABC Family?

Our first Thursday's show is next Saturday, January 22nd, at 8:00PM. Thursdays Restaurant is located on Wolf Lane in Bridgewater, PA. The show is all ages and admission is just $5.00.
