Description
IMPROV CABARET
Improv Cabaret is a fully improvised Broadway-style musical, action-packed with singing, dancing, rapping, hilarious characters, and touching story lines. Every single moment of this jazzy musical is made up on the spot.

CAST: Gretchen Grunzke, Dre Ford, Laura Prager, Rachel Beckemeyer, Kat Bond, Erik Mulder, Maynard Peralta

BUTT GAY
Butt Gay Improv has been slaying the stage since 2022 and is a cornerstone of the premier queer variety show Queer Factor based out of Dallas, TX. With a cast of LGBTQ+ performers, they take an audience suggestion of their favorite movie and improvise a loose narrative.

CAST: Stefan Newman, Emily Baudot, John Herrera, Paco Giurfa, Hannah Westbrook, Hannah Hudson, Jamie Zeske, Hollis Beck

---

NECROMANCER
Necromancer summons apparitions via improv — these apparitions are also known as "characters." These characters have fears, desires, and deep, dark secrets. They write about these things in their diaries. The audience becomes privy to the content of their diaries thanks to a series of hexes and curses.

CAST: Cole Schlesinger, Eli Hawthorne, April Frankenstein, Alex Nichols, Megan Kudzma, Ryan Thompson, Madly Rosett
