SuperCollider: September 6th, 2019!

Every month for SuperCollider!, Silverbacks host a different trio of improv troupes! Groups may be local favorites, traveling troupes, or exciting new formats such as horror and musical improv. 

The September 6th SuperCollider!,
hosted by local comedian, Maggie Shipley, 
will feature the following troupes: 

  • Cult of the Stage Monkey is Lafayette’s longest-running Improvisational Theatre troupe! The student organization has been delighting audiences with their quick wit and topical humor since October of 1998.  
  • Founded in 2017, The Plural Noun is an improv collaborative with a wide range of performance influences from sketch to film to black box experimentation. The troupe loves to break down the boundaries between short improv games and long form explorations of themes, aka lots of laughter, tears, and WTF! 
  • The Weaning Process is an improv troupe sprung from an improv class. They combine short games and long form in their shows and have most recently started a regular show that blends standup and improv!  

See all three troupes for the price of one! Only $10* for a night full of fun. 
The September 6th show starts at 9:00pm at the 2nd Stage at Cite des Arts!

*($8 for Students, Teachers, and Seniors (60+). ID is required for discount)

So, do yourselves a favor: join us on Friday, February 2, at Cite des Arts (on the main stage!). Tickets are $10, and the show kicks off at 7:30pm! We will pit friends against friends, cast-mate against cast-mate, and even SIBLING against SIBLING!… all for your entertainment, applause, votes, and Hamiltons!
