Planet Ant Theatre to Continue Season with ANTENNA

Planet Ant Theatre continues its 2015-16 season on April 1 with Antenna, an original sketch comedy revue created by members of its acclaimed resident improv team, the Improv Colony. Tickets ($10-$20) are on sale now online at www.planetant.com. A complete performance schedule for Antenna follows this release.

Antenna is a collection of live sketches and video segments, taking audiences on a journey through many bizarre and hilarious situations in a style similar to Mr. Show, SNL or Kids in the Hall. The various sketches lampoon everything from evil robots to RL Stine, including (but not limited to) The Walking Dead, awkward dates, overzealous police women, foreign kids shows, key parties, reality TV, text messages, and more. Antenna will tune you into an original live show that you won't soon forget.

Directed by Mike McGettigan (Hamtramck), Antenna is written by the cast & director including Lauren Bickers (Hamtramck), Joe Hingelberg (Troy), Michael Hovitch (Ferndale), Sean McGettigan (Dearborn) and Travis Pelto (Royal Oak).
