IRTE, the Improvisational Repertory Theatre Ensemble, is back having just opened 'My Thanksgiving Recipe (Chaos is the Point)', an improvisation based comic theatre piece, featuring live, original music. See photos from the production.

My Thanksgiving Recipe (Chaos is the point) features a mostly female cast and a live musician. Together, they will discover that the moments that matter live within the mess and chaos of family gatherings. Even when following the 'ideal recipe' for a picture-perfect Thanksgiving, control is an illusion.

More than six years ago, a group of theatrically-trained artists came together to create spontaneous and uproarious retro-themed improv-comedy shows. Their brilliance at stage craft made each event deeper and funnier than any other troupe of its kind. Today, the multi-award-winning national improv comedy troupe - the Improvisational Repertory Theatre Ensemble - is a respected leader in both the improv and theatrical circles. An alum of numerous comedy and theatre festivals, IRTE is an ensemble of comedy actors and writers who develop, produce and perform a season of original themed improvisational shows, following the basic model of traditional repertory theatre.
