Down the Rabbit Hole, Ft Mabel And Geffreys Music And Family Interest Affair

Mopco's "other" performance troupe Down the Rabbit Hole, joins Mabel And Geffrey’s, Music And Family Interest Affair for a great night of Improv!

The improvisers in Down the Rabbit Hole, or the Rabbbits as they are affectionately called, are possibly even more eclectic than other improvisors here at the Mopco. They cook up great improv in their little rabbit warren, and we are always thrilled to have them grace the stage!

Joining them, on their perpetual tour throughout the tri-state area, Mabel and Geffrey are delighted to revisit Schenectady. Don’t miss their iconic mobster-themed lounge act!

Improv Fundamentals 1 - Six Wednesdays

Improv Fundamentals 1 - Six Wednesdays

Six Thursdays, 7-9 PM, Mar 4, 11, 18, 25, Apr 8, 15

The fundamentals of improv are deceptively simple. You can learn them in a few hours. (But we warn you, it can take a lifetime to master them.) Improv is a practice that you can engage in on stage and off.

Support your partner. Listen. Blurt! Weave a fresh, engaging story out of thin air. Is improv comedy? Sometimes, sure. But more importantly, it’s connection.

For actors, writers, performers, and folks who have never performed. Prerequisite: Improv 101 or equivalent (talk to us if you aren’t sure.)This class consists of a combination of games and scene-work, with debriefs that enhance your personal experience.
