ACT 1, SCENE 2 IS BACK, BABY!
After a successful run this summer at The PIT (People’s Improv Theater, for those not into acronyms), A1S2 is coming back for a fall run at The Tank!
Act 1, Scene 2 is a two-hour improvised play where a playwright provides the first scene of an unfinished play, and the performers make up the rest!
It’s a format first pioneered by San Francisco’s Un-Scripted Theater Company (where Alex was a company member before moving east). The PIT run was A1S2’s New York premiere, and we’re so excited to dig even deeper with this magical combination of scripted theater and long-form improv. Come check us out!
Performances are at the Tank Theater (312 W 36th St, NYC) on:
Every performance features a different guest playwright, so it’ll never be the same show twice. Theater can’t get any more live than this!
Update: Act 1, Scene 2 was a blast!
Thanks to everyone who came out to support the show!
Alex and the rest of the A1S2 crew are getting together to plan what the next improv adventure will be. We’ll keep you posted!
