The Peoples Improv Theatre (The PIT) is moving out of its 24th Street home- the Pit Striker Mainstage.

Award-Winning Storyteller and Comedienne, Anoush Froundjian will perform her solo show ONE WOMAN, UNDER BROW at The Peoples Improv Theater (The PIT) on January 9th at 7PM. Directed by Julia Whitehouse, ONE WOMAN, UNDER BROW features candid stories about Anoush's Armenian family; her Armenian day school; and her pursuit to redefine 'Home.' This hour-long performance piece is told through a web of sometimes comedic and sometimes sharp and poignant storytelling. The piece addresses the cultural differences between Anoush's background and that of day-to-day, society, revealing how it has both torn down and reshaped the life of a child and now (semi) adjusted adult.

After an oversold night at Dixon Place this August, Dana Aber will perform two evenings of her autobiographical soloshow Baggage at the Door at the PIT Loft: Sunday October 14 at 8pm and Monday October 29 at 9:30pm. Hailed as 'deeply moving' with 'infectious original songs,' Baggage at the Door is a 'disarmingly charming' look at healing from trauma. Incorporating video games, humor, and video projections, this quirky and candid piece explores her attempts to break the PTSD trauma cycle and find courage to unpack her baggage and claim a better life.
