Catharsis: Dramatic Improv

Catharsis: Dramatic Improv started in 2016 as a way for improvisers to show off their acting chops. Rather than focus on fast, beat-the-game scenes, the goal of Catharsis is for improvisers to slow down a bit to develop real, grounded relationships and explore those relationships in a 20-minute monoscene. The results is often touching, relatable, and yes, very very funny.

Catharsis: Dramatic Improv has been performed at The UCB Theater, The Clubhouse Theater, The LA Indie Improv Festival, and the Del Close Marathon in New York.

Lineup:

ASHES: Ruha Taslimi, NNamdi Ngwe, Amy Hessler, Artoun Nazareth

HEAVEN’S HELPERS: Rachel Marsh, Ryan Barton, Alexis Rhiannon, Aliya Kamalova

CATHARSIS: Charlie Mihelich, Erin Kelly Smith, May Darmon, Tyler Schnupp
