Get In honor of students heading back to school, Zenprov Comedy presents “Socially Awkward” at Mary Fisher Theater on Saturday, Sept. 9 at 7:30 PM. Tickets are $12 advanced purchase or $15 at the door.
“It’s been said that ‘Tragedy + Time = Comedy’, so we thought we’d do a show that takes a few of those tragically embarrassing moments we all had as teenagers and transform them into comedic gold,” said Derek Dujardin, director of Zenprov Comedy.
For the past several months Zenprov Comedy has been hard at work on new short-form games while also learning the art of long-form improvisation acting. Using a single word or a phrase given by the audience, the troupe creates an entire world of characters and comedic situations to explore for 20 to 30 minutes. Their “Socially Awkward” will be exciting mix of both short and long-form styles.
“Zenprov is the best comedy troupe in Arizona,” said Mr. Patrick Schweiss, Executive Director of the Sedona International Film Festival. “People were laughing so hard their cheeks were hurting.”
If you’ve never attended one of their live performances before, Zenprov Comedy is similar to the popular improvised TV show “Whose Line Is It Anyway?” The troupe performs fast-paced games and scenes created in the moment—always based on audience suggestions. Unlike sketch or standup comedy, nothing is rehearsed or scripted ahead of time. Best of all, it’s never the same show twice.
The Zenprov Comedy players embrace the Del Close method of improv acting, which emphasizes the “group mind” that mysteriously develops during a performance. Miraculously, the player’s minds fuse together to create a “super mind” where they practically finish each other’s sentences—and often do. Laughter ensues.
The super minds of Zenprov Comedy are Derek Dujardin, Shaeri Richards, Chris Redish, Tom Shoemaker, Shaunn Cochran, Betty Testa, Linda Roemer and Mary Carder.
Tickets are $12 pre-sale and $15 the day of the show.
