Boston's Unscripted Musical Festival to Play ImprovBoston's Main Stage, 6/28-8/2

By:

There will be music ringing throughout ImprovBoston this summer. Boston's Unscripted Musical Project (B.U.M.P.) heads to the theater for a six-week run. Every Friday night at 10 p.m., from Friday June 28-Friday, August 2, B.U.M.P will on the IB MainStage. Tickets cost $18 or $14 with a valid Student I.D. Tickets are available atwww.improvboston.com. ImprovBoston is located at 40 Prospect Street.

B.U.M.P. is a performance feast for musical theater lovers and more. In only an hour, the company of veteran improvisers and a live band create a musical right before the audience's eyes. It is a one night only World Premiere that will open and close on the same night. Each show will feature heroes, villains, comic relief -- and of course an 11 o'clock showstopper. The songs, dancing, music, and story, are fully improvised. No two shows will ever be the same.

The show is directed by Bryan Dunn. The cast includes: Brian Agosta, Marissa Campbell, Autumn Gillete, Corey O'Rourke, Sophie Shrand, Tim Stonelake, Christine Toohey, and Misch Whitaker. B.U.M.P is produced by Ministry of Theater and Pablo Rojas is the Executive Producer.
