5-6-7-8 Presents.... Game Day Decision

Short Form Improvisational Comedy Games

Long Form Improvisational Scenes -AND-

PREVIEW: excerpt from InstaPlay, an improvised full length one-act play based on audience suggestions. InstaPlay will premiere at Fringe Fest later this summer.

5-6-7-8 is a DC-based improv comedy group that appears monthly at DC Improv Open Mic Night in the Comedy Lounge, and produces their own full length shows.

Current cast members, pictured above, are Min Cho, Tommy McFly, Bart Voisin, Amy Born, Ryan Gillis, Ellen Safran, David Hunter, Pam Nash, Greg Niehus, Lisa Ehren and Joanna Edie.

Once upon a time there was a group of cranky and bored DC area residents. And any time they'd meet someone new they'd awkwardly begin the conversation with "So what do you do?"

Until one day, they began to do improv. And because of that, they discovered new ways to start conversations. And because of that, they stopped being cranky and started finding humor in this region so many love to hate.

Until finally, they put on a show. And ever since then, they have been making up scenes as Crossiant Pony.

Craigslist! The Musical is the latest original theatrical production of the DC Burner Choir. Join Baby as she navigates the seedy underbelly of DC via eco-vegan group houses, passion parties, and (shudder) Georgetown, using Craigslist as her guide through toe-tapping musical numbers!

The DC Burner Choir's previous works include Z-Spot, A Zombie Musical and Broads and Generals, A Civil Whore Musical.

Join David London as he presents his new show-- (insert title here).

(insert title here) is a 64 minute* show that combines magic, storytelling, puppetry, performance art, as well as David's interest in sculpture, surrealism, and Wonder Bread.

The Quest for Marriage Island invites the audience to paticipate in an unscripted comedy show answering the questions about relationships that everyone forgets to ask.

The Quest for Marriage Island: the only comedy show that could save your love life

Sole Survivors is a contemporary portrait of one American woman and three immigrants who put their lives on the line to seek and realize not only the American Dream, but their own, more personal and deeply-felt dreams of freedom.

Life and death issues are closely counterposed in a dramatic, inspiring mini-saga of tender visions and painful, sharp-edged realism. Political expression and repression, marriage and divorce, even humor (touching, Chaplinesque humor and pathos) take center stage in Vest's solo performance.

Sole Survivors is based on extensive interviews Michelle conducted with documented and undocumented workers.

Traditionally, portrait art has been an intimate process.
One artist working with one model. Not any more. 4Traits
take the idea of portraiture to a totally different place.
We’re a team of artists working together on a group of
portraits, blending our separate styles, talents, and
insights into a cohesive whole.
Four people sit across the table from our four artists. Each
artist works on the portrait of the person seated across
from them for about 5 minutes. When the 5 minutes are
up, the person and their portrait move on to the next artist,
assembly line style. The next artist picks up where the last
one left off, continuing to build on their work, adding lines,
shapes, shadows, texture, and color. This process continues
until all four artists have worked on all four portraits.
