Improv Show at Mary Fisher Theatre in Sedona, AZ.
Did you know Saturday, March 22 is National Goof-Off Day? Join Sedona’s longest-running improv comedy troupe as they turn goofing around into comedy gold. The fun starts at 7:30 p.m. at Mary D. Fisher Theatre in Sedona, AZ. Tickets are $16 pre-sale and $18 at the door.
“Zenprov is the funniest improv troupe in Northern Arizona. People were laughing so hard their cheeks were hurting,” said Patrick Schweiss, Executive Director of the Sedona International Film Festival. Now in its 17th year, Zenprov Comedy revels in the rich source material that comes from living in Sedona, a place steeped in spiritual seeking, UFOs, vortexes, self-help gurus, radical vegans and confused tourists lost in roundabouts.
If you’ve never been to one of their performances, Zenprov Comedy is similar to the popular improvised TV show “Whose Line Is It Anyway?” The troupe performs a mix of fast-paced, short-form improvised scenes created in the moment based on audience suggestions and Chicago-style, long-form improv. Unlike sketch or standup comedy, nothing is scripted or prepared beforehand, so it’s never the same show twice. “Zenprov is the funniest improv troupe in Northern Arizona. People were laughing so hard their cheeks were hurting,” said Patrick Schweiss, Executive Director of the Sedona International Film Festival.
Jessica Mitolo, an Associate Artistic Director at famed Second City in Chicago, coaches Zenprov Comedy. “I work with improv troupes worldwide and Zenprov is one of my favorites,” said Mitlolo. “Since 2020, I've enjoyed coaching them through a creative renaissance. They are an ensemble that inhabits that sweet spot of being silly and insightful. A treat not to be missed.”
The super minds of Zenprov Comedy are Derek Dujardin, Shaeri Richards, Shaunn Cochran, Chris Redish, Betty Testa, Dr. Linda Roemer, Nathaniel Montgomery, and Mary Carder.
Zenprov wants attendees to know that their shows are rated PG-13 and are seldom politically, morally or scientifically correct. Imaginary people may die or may say things that make them wish they were dead.
The Mary D. Fisher Theatre is located across the street from the Harkins Movie Theater on 2030 St. Rt. 89A, next door to BMO Harris. Doors open at 7:00 p.m. The show starts promptly at 7:30 p.m. and concludes around 9:15 p.m. Beer, wine, and snacks are available.
