Inspired by the minimalism of Lars Von Trier's Dogville and the comedic realism of Christopher Guest, Character Dogville explores pre-developed characters and their developing relationships within two imaginary American towns using improvisation, costumes and makeup, live music, and lighting/sound effects.

Performed under the roof of a large scale Off-Off Broadway theater, Character Dogville tells the stories of two unique, rural towns and the quirky dynamic relationships that govern them. The actors of each ensemble have developed three consistent characters in rehearsal ahead of time and may present any of the three on the night of the performance. The dialogue and musical accompaniment is completely improvised and the show structure unique, guaranteeing the show's individuality and freshness. Throughout the run, each performance reserves a wildcard slot for each town to introduce a new character - perhaps a wandering visitor or a previously unexplored dimension to town life. In time, audiences to each town are be treated to the familiar characters they know and love as well as fresh and experimental creations straight from the imagination of these talented and diversely trained young and upcoming actor/comedians.
