Olivia and Gabe are moving into their first apartment together. They’ve just packed up all of their belongings and driven halfway across the country, to start a new life in Chicago. Their moving day doesn’t go exactly as planned, though, and things become slightly more complicated when all of their parents show up to help. Can a two- bedroom apartment contain all of the love, laughs, worry and wisdom that’s about to happen? This new comedy takes a generational look at relationships, and how sometimes parents are passing their best lessons on to their children without even meaning to. Funny and touching, this one will make you laugh out loud and fall in love all over again.
Three’s A Crowd improv show
Saturday, March 16th, 2019 8:00 PM until 9:47 PM
Come see the only Chicago Style improv show in the Carolinas!!
Three’s A Crowd improv show
It’s improv that has only 3 people on stage; we take a suggestion from the audience and then run a 15 to 20 minute "play" based off that suggestion. And we'll do that 4 or 5 different times based on whatever scenario you come up with!! In between some of the "plays" we'll improvise games like the show Who's Line is it Anyway!
Quick story:
Did you know that 4 of Illinois’ last 7 governors went to prison! Chicago is home to one of the first serial killers (H.H Holmes) in the U.S. And the Tylenol scare occurred at a Walgreens in their lovely city in 1982.
Chicago also has famous alums, not like George Washington or Thomas Jefferson, but salt of the earth folks such as John Dillinger, Al Capone, and “Baby Face” Nelson.
But Chicago is not all bad, someone there did invent the Twinkie, and the prototype of the zipper was showcased at the 1893 World ’s Fair; and as of 2019, only about 1.5 people are murdered there each day!
