What a fun show!
We came to their Valentine's Day special and got their fancy pants seats (no really, they call them fancy pants seats...and they're $35 per reserved seat). Ironically you can get their regular seats for $10 cheaper, and the regular seats aren't bad.
So the premise of this show was the audience members all wrote love gone right or wrong on note cards before the show began, and the actors picked the cards at random then acted out the story, and added a bit more weight their improv skills. This show lasted about 1 hour and 40 minutes, including a 10 minute intermission.
A word to the wise....if you think you'll be safe by writing a silly story, thinking they'll never select this, think again! I did just that and my story was selected FIRST!!
The actors were all really good, and I loved how they on the fly brought these stories to life. They tag each other in and out to introduce characters and on several occasions will run through the audience for effect.
You can order snacks before the show, which we did in the form of popcorn and water, although if drinking is your thing, they sell alcohol as well as other snacks too.
Located in what looks to be an old church, it's a venue that isn't monstrous in size, but holds a fair amount of people in a somewhat intimate setting. The stage is close enough to all where sometimes the actors could be heard without the mic, and again, there wasn't any true "bad" seating in the house. Lest I forget, there's a piano playing fellow who is on stage playing through the entire acts
Parking is in a private lot across the street from Dad's Garage. They ask that you get there 15 minutes before the show to get some form of parking. We got there about 25 minutes beforehand and parking was no problem at all. Surprisingly getting out was also no problem, though the lot does fill up fast.
End of the day, I thoroughly enjoyed myself at this event watching the pros do their improv thing. They do offer several audience driven events where you can try your own hand on stage, but I have not seen one of these shows yet.
I can tell you one thing, i'll be back to see more though (go ahead and complete their email survey to get a pair of free tickets!), and I hope i'll see you there!
