Chris Klemmer's NEW HAMPSKETCH Kicks Off The PLAYERS' RING Late Night Summer Series

June 22- July 1 Klemmer Productions will present New Hampsketch at the Players' Ring Theatre, located at 105 Marcy Street Portsmouth, NH. Show times are Fridays and Saturdays at 10:00 PM and Sundays at 9:00 PM. Tickets are $14 with discounts for students, seniors and Players' Ring Members. To make your reservation visit playersring.org or call 603-436-8123.

In a format similar to NBC's Saturday Night Live, New Hampsketch will have everything from live music and variety acts to a news spoof of local New Hampshire issues. Sketch comedy anchors the show with original sketches by Chris Klemmer, Henry Columbare and John Herman. It's the closest thing to being at Rockefeller Center that you'll find in New England!

Klemmer Productions was formed by Chris Klemmer who recently moved back to Portsmouth after living in New York City. There, he studied sketch and improv at Upright Citizens Brigade and was accepted into their Advanced Program. Klemmer Productions is committed to providing NYC-level comedy to Seacoast audiences.
