Welcome to the second-annual Bay Area Musical Improv Festival, bringing together musical improvisers from around the San Francisco Bay Area and across the country for a weekend of musical improv shows, workshops, jams and parties at the All Out Comedy Theater in Oakland! Over the course of the four-day festival weekend, there will be eight shows, featuring selected performers from around the Bay Area and as far away as Chicago, Seattle, LA, Florida and Hawaii. Learn more about the festival on the Bay Area Musical Improv Festival website. This show on Friday, Oct 24 at 8:30pm features three incredible acts: B.A.B.E. Presents: I Love Musicals (Portland, OR) La Spazzatura No Strings Attached (Seattle)
This 1950's "I Love Lucy" inspired improvised musical is an ode to wackiness & classic Americana, crafted by four world-traveling improvisers: Betse Green, Aden Nepom, Bill Cernansky and Eric Nepom (aka B.A.B.E.).
La Spazzatura [Italian: (n) trash] is low brow opera, high brow improv. Based on a single audience suggestion, they perform comedic arias, duets, and perfectly executed recitativo* accompanied by piano. *That sound you heard was Mozart rolling in his grave.
Have you ever wondered what puppets do when they’re not working on kids' shows? Buckle up. Avenue Q meets RENT as these singing puppets leave a trail of poorly thought out ideas in their wake.
