Comedy, Etc.

Looking for a fun night out?

It’s comedy. It’s drama. It’s unlimited imagination.

We’re taking over the recently renovated 1st Stage theatre for a high-energy theatre mashup. We’ve gathered 14 of the region’s most creative ensembles to build an innovative evening of performance from scratch, and no two acts are the same.

Experience the full spectrum of improvised performance. One act might be a lost Shakespearean masterpiece; the next, a steamy Broadway musical, a grounded contemporary porch play, or a chaotic debut by a sock-puppet duo.

Highlights

This program features Comedy:

• &theTOAST  – A complimentary celebration of Resonance Improv’s first year
• &theBLOCKS – four 1-hour blocks of improvised theatre shows. Join one or all four!
• Mix&Match – A celebration of community joy and collaborative connection with the cast of Comedy, Etc.
• &theDROP – Exclusive first look at our new merch shop, designed to support the Alliance while expressing your love of improv.
• &theBID – More than an auction—it’s an investment in community joy featuring local treasures and creative experiences that give back. 100% of proceeds fund our outreach programs for vulnerable populations in Northern Virginia. Preview the auction items here!
