Days of Our Nights: A 24 Hour Improv Marathon @ The Upfront Theatre

It’s The Upfront Theatre’s 20th anniversary and we are ready to improvise… for 24 hours straight!

Join us as we attempt to stage a 24 hour episodic, improvised soap opera. You read that right. We’ve lost our marbles, and improvisers have signed on to endure this feat of extreme improv comedy. Oh! The drama! Witness the sleep deprived, the delirious, and the delusional cook up 20 of the most dramatic comedy shows you will ever see, where no personality is too big and no storyline too outlandish.

Ok, but seriously, how is this going to work? Over the course of 24 hours, there will be a rotating cast of Upfront alumni and current cast members, including the brave few that have signed on to be apart of Every. Single. Show. We will perform an episodic improvised soap opera for 24 hours straight. Shows, or “episodes,” will begin every hour on the hour (with a few breaks for meals), starting August 9th at 10pm.

This special event will also include several giveaways to local Bellingham businesses throughout the run of shows. If you are in the audience, you might just win something (aside from a hilarious good time)!

We hope you can join us in celebrating The Upfront Theatre bringing the silly, wild, experimental, and funny to Bellingham for the past 20 years. The melodrama awaits. Before we sleep, we improvise!
