Some Like It Improvised - ‘Some Like It Improvised’ combines the comedy of mistaken identities, culture clashes, and mismatched couples into a fun night of improvised theatre. Fast-talking female reporters, out-of-touch aristocracy, independent heiresses, and percolating romance in close quarters form the backbone of these screwball plots. PGraph captures all of the charm and nostalgia of the 1930s and ’40s screwball comedies and presents hilarious improvised plays that are as heart-warming as FDRs fire-side chats!
Improvised French Farce- French Farce is an exploration of the latent comedy in social status. Infidelity, insecurity, and insatiable appetites for wealth and power collide with riveting consequences. No topic is taboo; No neurosis too absurd. Rich in physical humor and word play, French Farce is a delight to watch. We turn a blank stage into a French salon, a blank script into sharp social commentary, and “improv comedy” into “théâtre improvisé”.

Villainy- Villainy delves into the dark side of the human condition and tell stories that focus on the villains and anti-heroes we all love to hate. Villainy explores the thousand faces of evil, cruelty, and hatred, all in one comical, theatrical bundle. The good, sensible person in you will tell you to look away, but you won’t. Indulge in your darker side while we indulge in ours.

GRIMM – An evening of Brother’s Grimm’s Fairy Tales as told by the German peasants themselves. Not only are the original Grimm’s fairy tales dark and disturbing, but they’re also crazy, surprising, and at times completely baffling. Hundreds of years of passing on stories from generation to generation by voice and memory alone has shaped and warped these tales into bizarre gems… with everything from talking animals, severed heads, anthropomorphic sewing needles, random visits from the Virgin Mary, and yes, fairies thrown in… sometimes all into the same story. These stories are not neat. They are not clean. They are not safe.

A Story From Scratch – We’ve honed our skills in group storytelling with weekly shows for over 4 strait years. We’ve intensely studied play-writing, screenwriting, and story theory. In this format we leave everything up to chance and use our instincts and experience to present you with a completely improvised one-act play. Anything can happen, but you can expect to be surprised and delighted.
