Zenprov breaks new comedic boundaries in “All New Stuff & A Bunny!”
Zenprov Comedy players Nathaniel Montgomery and Mary Carder step into the director’s chair to cohost the troupe’s next show, “All New Stuff & A Bunny!” on Saturday, March 23, at Mary D. Fisher Theatre in Sedona. Tickets are $16 pre-sale and $18 on the day of the show. https://sedonafilmfestival.com/event/zenprov-comedy-all-new-stuff-a-bunny/ “We are all about the bigger, faster, funnier comedy,” said Derek Dujardin, director of Zenprov Comedy. “So we worked with an improv coach from Second City in Chicago to bring our audience a fabulous slate of all new games. This is Zenprov like you've never seen them before. We are challenged, and our audience will be delighted.”
One new game is called “Super Scene”, in which four “movie directors” improvise a short genre film such as sci-fi, film noir, romantic comedy, sports film, coming of age, vampire romance, etc. After watching the first act, the directors passionately pitch why their film should make it to the next round. The audience votes to see which should improvised film will get the green light until only one storyline is left.
“Zenprov Comedy is the funniest improv troupe in Northern Arizona. People were laughing so hard their cheeks were hurting.” Patrick Schweiss, Executive Director of the Sedona International Film Festival. Now in its 17th year, Zenprov Comedy is a local Sedona favorite that taps into the rich source material that comes from living in a place steeped in spiritual seeking, UFOs, vortexes, self-help gurus, radical vegans and confused tourists lost in roundabouts.
Zenprov Comedy is coached by Jessica Mitolo, an Associate Artistic Director at Second City. “I work with improv troupes from all over the world, and Zenprov is one of my favorites. Since 2020, I’ve enjoyed coaching them through a creative renaissance. They are a true ensemble that inhabits that sweet spot of being both silly and insightful. A joy and a treat not to be missed.”
