Un-Abridged: The Best of Ten Years of Un-Scripted

July 26 - August 18, 2012

Over the last nine years, the Un-Scripted Theater Company has explored long and short form improvisation, covering the gamut of performance genres from thrillers to Bollywood, from Shakespeare to graphic novels and from game shows to Dickens. When we look to create new shows, we always think of our company's Continuing Mission: to create smart, innovative, and entertaining improvised theater that delights audiences and advances the craft and art of improvisation.

Now, come join us for this celebration of our Tenth Anniversary Season: after nearly a decade of unforgettable shows, Un-Scripted is bringing back a new favorite every night for four weeks. Musicals, puppets, horror and more; all make their return for one night only!
