This weekend at The Focus!

Come support your friends, family, or complete strangers as they perform their first sets as graduates from Brian Enck’s stand-up comedy class, THIS FRIDAY! Please, no tomatoes.

The Improv Plate is one of Rochester’s oldest improv traditions—and it’s home at The Focus Theater! Join us on the first Saturday of the month from 7-9pm! Doors open at 6:30pm.

The Improv Plate brings together anyone interested in improv in the Rochester area to play on teams made up on the spot. Still not sure? That’s okay, it’s also fun to just sit and watch. People from all levels of improv experience are welcome to throw their name in the hat and play.

Tickets are available online and at the door on a first-come, first-served basis.

Please join John Forrest Thompson (a.k.a. JFT) and a rotating cast of some of Rochester’s funniest actors and comedians for a night of Chicago-Style Improv. This classic approach to improvisation involves a group of actors working together to create original, on-the-spot stories inspired by single audience suggestions. These stories introduce authentic characters and themes that recur and connect in a series of continuous scenes. Chicago-Style Improv is particularly known for its commitment to patience, intelligent play, and the exploration of deep personal relationships and the human condition. Shows generally last 90 minutes and include a 15 minute intermission.

Date: Saturday, May 23rd
Time: Doors at 6:30 PM, Show at 7:00 PM
Tickets: $10
