Galaxy View Improv and Create a Sound

Presented by Galaxy View Improv

Presented by Kenney Knisely

February 6 at 7 pm

Join the Galaxy View Improv Drive-In as we create B-movies of yesteryear that were shown in drive-in theaters across the country! The Drive-In is run by several friends who have delighted audiences with westerns, horror, sci-fi, Twilight Zone, fantasy, and film noir stories. Our improv movies are shown once and once only. We couldn't recreate them again, even if we tried.

 

Create a Sound is a spoof of a popular internet game show with a similar name! Three contestants take turns creating improvised scenes from original prompts! They start as individuals, then work in teams of two, and finally come together as a group. This show will have you laughing in your seat and rolling on the floor! Come find out who will win the coveted Gilded Auricle!

Echoes on the Peak

By Deborah DeGeorge Harbin

Presented by Kerstyn Desjardins

February 13 at 7 pm

Echoes on the Peaks is a collection of ghost stories. What are we to one another, and what do we owe to one another? If we are all really just walking each other home, what does that entail? To what end are we responsible for one another? What happens when our paths diverge? In three one-act plays that take place on the Appalachian range, friends and lovers and strangers answer these questions, wittingly or unwittingly. They face challenges, both manmade and from nature, and in each tale they are left with the option of how to face them – together, or alone.
