Comedy Improv and Music

Featuring two fabulous teens: Vocalist/Songwriter Whitney Kelly & “Mikey B” Musician/Vocalist & The Count Basie Theatre Comedy Improv Troupe.
Want to spend an evening laughing your head off? Count Basie’s Teen Improv Troupe will be performing their brand of fast-paced improv comedy that features the best teen improvisers in the area and uses your suggestions to fuel the show!! The scenes and content are made up on the spot by the troupe. The audience is involved in other ways as well, as you are encouraged to shout out ideas for locations, styles, objects, occupations and many other “ask-fors”. These are used on the spot. This can end up in hilarious creations, sometimes with you on stage!
