VIRTEgo Circus Featuring IRTE to Play The Producer's Club Beginning in February
Performances begin February 16.
In the back roads of Anywhere, USA, a travelling carnival of lost souls and circus misfits will perform acts of improvisational derring-do based entirely on your wicked suggestions. Just be careful what you wish for. Wishes cost more than you imagine.
Improv meets Ray Bradbury in vIRTEgo Circus, a reimagining of the Improvisational Repertory's Theater Ensemble's 2013 dark comedy of the same name. Inspired by Something Wicked This Way Comes, IRTE invites you to join them in the Big Tent. MARVEL at the Mirror Maze. GASP at the 3-Headed Mystic. SING ALONG with the Human Calliope as IRTE mixes audience interactive games with an unfolding tale of regret, longing, and frustrated ambition.
For the past eleven years, IRTE, the Improvisational Repertory Theatre Ensemble, has been captivating audiences and winning accolades for their wildly funny and wildly absurd take on improvisational based theatre. This award-winning collective of comedy actors and writers develop, produce, and perform original comedies inspired by the Theatre of the Ridiculous movement, the work of Viola Spolin, and the indie comedy scene of turn-of-this-century's NYC. Using only simple costumes and dime store props, they bring to life broad irreverent characters in a fluid and wildly funny night of improvised theatre.
Adult content. Parental discretion is advised. Please note that theater is not wheelchair accessible. Entrance into theater is up a flight of stairs.
Join IRTE as they break down barriers between audience and spectator in their dark sideshow, vIRTEgo Circus.
