Is laughter the ultimate aphrodisiac? Find out! From first dates to heartbreaks, Zenprov Comedy explores all things related to romantic love, including re-enacting a couple's for first date without knowing anything about it except a few bare-bone facts. Plus, an improvised version of 1970s Dating Game. Join them on stage is visiting Second City coach and improviser, Jessica Mitlio. And probably a bellydancer.
Tickets are $18 in advance and $20 at the door, and $25 priority seating in the first 3 rows. This one-night-only performance could sell out so please purchase tickets early. Tickets are available in Cottonwood at Desert Dancer; and in Sedona at The Sedona Film Fest Box Office. Old Town Center for the Arts is located at 5th Street & Main in Old Town Cottonwood.
For more than decade now, Zenprov Comedy has tapped into the rich source material that comes from living in a community steeped in spiritual seeking, UFOs, vortexes, self-help gurus, psychics, radical vegans and endless roundabouts. While Zenprov Comedy’s may start in the woo-woo culture of Sedona, their otherworldly performances are grounded in the fundamentals of rock-solid improv work, inventive satire, and their constant search for grand truths hidden within the great Cosmic Giggle.
If you’ve never been to one of their live performances before, Zenprov Comedy is similar to the popular improvised TV show “Whose Line Is It Anyway?” The troupe performs a mix of fast-paced improvised scenes created in the moment based on audience suggestions as well as Chicago-style “long form” improv, where scenes and characters interconnect with each other. Unlike sketch or standup comedy, nothing is scripted or prepared ahead of time, so it’s never the same show twice.
Zenprov Comedy embraces 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, Shaunn Cochran, Chris Redish, Betty Testa, Linda Roemer and Mary Carder..
WARNING: Shows are PG-13 and are seldom politically, morally or scientifically correct. While we don't drop f-bombs and love to play at the top of our intelligence, some "blue material" show nature.
