Something's brewing…The Improv Percolator is back!  Our showcase for local improv students and teams has a new night and new home.

After last year's enormous success, the Improv Percolator is returning to Common Ground Theatre with another benefit performance on Thanksgiving weekend.

Autumn is the best season of the year, and we could all use a little human kindness and warmth this election season. So we're inviting you to Fall in Love with Third Date on October 29th at Common Ground Theatre In Durham. Join Third Date for an evening of unscripted theater exploring the theme of love and relationships - of people coming together and falling apart. Four veteran actors (J Chachula, Nancy Pekar, Jenny Spencer, and director Dan Sipp) will create an hour-long piece based on a single audience suggestion. Their shows are a comic and sometimes bittersweet exploration of relationships with friends, family, partners and coworkers. They reflect the joys, surprises and everyday frustrations of life in our weird, wonderful world.

Common Ground Theatre, The Improv Percolator, FatMouth Improv, and Third Date Improv present The Rule of Three Ticket.  We know that 3 is the most satisfying number in comedy so we are offering one ticket for three nights of improv.  The Rule of Three tickets are $24 and only available in advance at Brown Paper Tickets. http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/2581775.

Join us for The Tree House Show.  Much to her embarrassment this show is dedicated to Anoo Tree Brod and features current students, former students and teammates who have been enriched by her teaching, friendship and love. Opening the evening will be Wild Mind Improv featuring Anoo's current students followed by Wait, What? featuring Anoo's former students and coached by her former student and current teammate Bart Hubbard.  Headlining is Danny Canoe featuring Anoo Tree Brod herself along with her long-time friends and improv master teammates Dan Sipp and Steve Warnock.  Not done yet- former student Alan Goldstein hosts the show.Tickets are $12 and are available at 7:30 pm at the theatre, 4815-B Hillsborough Road, Durham. Advance tickets are available through Brown Paper Ticketshttp://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/2570416.  For directions and more information, go to www.cgtheatre.com.  A single ticket for three nights of improv, including The Percolator, FatMouth Improv and Third Date's performance, is available at http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/2581775.

New to Common Ground Theatre is Improv Percolator, a showcase for local improv students and teams. The evening 8:00 show will feature performances by students of all ages who are starting in the art form; a special guest group who does not usually perform at the theatre; and end with one of the teams who may be more familiar to Common Ground audiences. 'Artists needed other performance opportunities,' explained Common Ground Executive Director Devra Thomas. 'Common Ground is about making those opportunities available to the community.'
