TMI IMPROV – (One performance only. August 27)

TMI specializes in character-driven improv, using both long- and short-form, where simple suggestions from the audience pave the way for improvised story-telling that range from the sublime to the ridiculous.
In the dark hours just before dawn on Good Friday, Dante finds himself lost in a treacherous wood with no way out but through the gaping chasm of Hell. So into the abyss he goes, comforted and guided by the poet Virgil. Together, they venture through each of the Nine Circles of Hell, meeting myriad damned souls along the way. They must make it out by Easter morning, else all hope is lost.
Will Dante have the strength to walk through Hell and return to the world above? Or will he succumb to Satan’s temptations, remaining trapped in the inferno for eternity?
Dante Alighieri’s towering 14th century epic, L’Inferno, is brought to life on stage in this new adaptation by Alex Winnick, inspired by the most renowned 18th and 19th century translations of the text.

Harold is the proverbial poor little rich kid. Alienated and fixated upon death, he repeatedly stages his own suicide in a cry for attention from his self-obsessed mother.

Harold soon develops a peculiar attachment to Maude and her eccentric philosophy, and their quirky relationship deepens, eventually opening a pathway for Harold to embrace life. This stage version will delight both aficionados of the film and newcomers to the story.
