Taproot Closes Comedy Improv 8/6

When the late summer sun goes down, the fun is just ramping up as Late Night at Taproot brings Comedy Improv to the stage. On Friday nights when the curtain closes on Man of La Mancha, Taproot's most talented comedy improvisers come out and take over the Mainstage with one goal in mind: to make audiences laugh harder than they can remember laughing before. Taproot Comedy Improv hits the stage July 16, 23 and 30 and August 6, at approximately 10:30 p.m., or shortly after the performance of Man of La Mancha ends.

Tickets are just $10, or $8 with a ticket to Man of La Mancha. Group pricing is available for parties of 8 or more. Tickets are available at the door only, no advance sales.

About Man of La Mancha:
Experience Don Quixote's impossible dream like never before with Taproot Theatre's intimate new staging of Man of La Mancha, running July 9 through August 7 (previews July 7 & 8). Don Quixote is mad... mad enough to dream an impossible dream while tilting after windmills. Featuring fresh, acoustic arrangements, this immortal classic reunites you with a story and songs that will capture your imagination and set you dreaming again. Quixote's romantic quest is as crazy as he is. But is the impossible dream madness or vision? The trial is about to begin. Man of La Mancha is a musical play by Dale Wasserman with music by Mitch Leigh and lyrics by Joe Darion; the original production was staged by Albert Marre, and it was originally produced by Albert W. Selden and Hal James.
