The Dowry Set to Perform Final Show at ImprovBoston, 7/27

By:

This July ImprovBoston is saying goodbye to the sketch group, The Dowry. The group, who just presented 500 Days of Summer, has decided to part ways and is going out with a bang. On Friday, July 27th at 10 p.m. they will take the stage for the final time. Tickets cost $18, $14 for students. Tickets are available online at www.improvboston.com or by phone at 617-576-1253.

For their final show, The Dowry is pulling out all of the stops and presenting an evening of their best work and favorite sketches. Their collaborative writing style lends itself to deliberate yet silly performances. This six person ImprovBoston house team has been featured in the Philly Sketch Fest, Women in Comedy Festival, and they were finalists in Boston Comedy Festival 2010’s Sketch Competition. The Dowry wrote and performed the full-length musical sketch comedy show Love, Seasonally to sold-out crowds at ImprovBoston in 2010. Love, Seasonally was heralded by the Boston Events Insider as " entertaining with just the right amount of humor without trying too hard, basically exactly what you want from a show at ImprovBoston… Creative… Perfect… The laughs kept rolling.”

The Dowry cast includes: Paul Barner, Brian Goddard, Hannah Foell, Natalie Baseman, Laura Clark, and Jackie Arko. Conceived by comedy fans in Boston, The Dowry has been providing pithy, hilarious, and straight-up fun sketch comedy since 2007.

For four years, the Dowry has been writing and performing original and hilarious sketch comedy that we are extremely proud of - which is not an easy thing to pull off. We are so thankful to ImprovBoston for allowing us the stage time to showcase our characters and surreal premises,” said Baseman. “This might be the end of the Dowry, but the talent in our group will continue to write and perform here in Boston and Los Angeles and wherever we each end up.”
