The Saturday Matinee
The artoberVA Pay-What-You-Will Event Series allows audiences to name their price of admission at select venues across the region throughout October. The Saturday Matinee is a monthly improv comedy show featuring your favorite local performers and comedy at a reasonable hour. Come catch a show before dinner and be home in your favorite PJs by bedtime!
Each Matinee features long form improv comedy from two ensembles: one preexisting Richmond improv team and one Team from a Hat, made up of a selection of improvisers chosen at random at the previous month’s show.
What is long form improv, you ask? Good question! It is theater that is entirely made up on the spot. To your eyes, it will feel like a short play or sketch show. You may even wonder, at times, if the performers are using ideas they came up with beforehand and practiced together. But trust us, none of it is pre-planned. Come witness the magic.
October Team from a Hat Cast: Fig, Stephen Haselhorst, Wyatt Johnson, Adam Royster, Madeline Smith, Rogue Syrena, Shelby Ware, Alexandra Williams October Team from a Hat Coach: Nate Shepherd
October Featured Team: Ryan Dondero & Friends!
