Kansas is far from adventurous, but just over the rainbow is a glittery green land of infinite possibilities paved with yellow bricks! With the Wicked Witch of the West on her ruby red heels, Dorothy will need all the brains, heart, courage, and wonder she can find from her new friends along the way. This fresh adaptation of L.

5. Plot Twist: Oh, The Horror!
Date: Saturday, October 19
Time: 8:00pm – 10:00pm
Location: Shenanigans Comedy Theatre
Event Information
Rated R: Welcome to the twisted world of B-movie mayhem! Our improv show pays homage to the zaniest horror and sci-fi B-movies of yesteryear and today—the ones that dared to be bizarre, campy, and utterly unforgettable. You (the audience) will vote on which movie plots are read based on the title only. Once the plot is read we (the improvisors) create scenes based on some of the strangest stuff you’ve ever heard. It’s scary good improv, but scary bad movies. You’ll laugh, you might cry, but you’ll never want to watch the actual movie. Or maybe you will, we won’t judge.
