Up Comedy Club to Present Porchlight's BEST MUSICAL! A COMPLETELY IMPROVISED MUSICAL COMEDY
UP Comedy Club has announced its remount of Porchlight Music Theatre's smash hit, BEST MUSICAL! A Completely Improvised Musical Comedy. BEST MUSICAL! was developed in "Off the Porch" Porchlight Music Theatre's new works development program. BEST MUSICAL! will run October 2 - November 6, 2013 at the UP Comedy Club, located at 230 W. North Ave., 3rd Floor of Pipers Alley.
Joining creator and returning music director, Matthew Loren Cohen and current cast members Joey Bland, Lauren Dowden and Matthew Van Colton are new cast members Brendan Dowling, Mitchell Fain, Sarah Hoffman, Andrew Knox and Sarah Reule.
