Fridays at 8pm


Tongue & Groove performs unscripted theater inspired by real life experiences, from hilarious to heartbreaking.

"Who are you?"  That's what Tongue & Groove wants to know! 
At WHO, each audience member is given a card and asked to respond to this prompt:  "beneath the typical identifiers -- and in just one sentence -- who are you?"  The audience anonymously submits their responses, which are randomly drawn by the actors and read aloud.  The ensemble then improvises a montage of funny and touching scenes and monologues, inspired by the audience's self-descriptions.

Some WHO examples:  "I'm the tortoise but I want to be the hare."  "I'm a radical parent"  "I'm what others want me to be"  "I’m a farmer and financial analyst who likes theater."  "I'm the son of a bitch who dented your Lexus." 

BYOB, Ages 18+
65-70 minutes (no intermission)


Praise for Tongue & Groove:
"I was BLOWN AWAY!  I have never been disappointed by T&G, and can't say that of many other companies, improv or not. This is great theatre, acted with soul-baring sincerity, intelligence, and humor. GO SEE THIS!" - Phila City Paper

"What I find consistent in Tongue & Groove...is their insight into genuine human feelings and situations, even as they make us laugh. They don't contrive theatrical spectacle with unlikely coincidences for quick laughs; they probe real life in all its humor and sadness, glory and shame."  - Broad St Review

"The ensemble created beautiful scenes of sincerity and compassion and also created ridiculously hilarious scenes....I couldn’t help but sit there and secretly hope that my card would be the next one drawn."  - DCMetro Theater Arts
