The 13th Annual SteelStacks Improv Comedy Festival is Jan. 23 and 24.<\/p>\n
The two-day marathon features improvisational teams from the United States delivering nonstop, high-energy comedy.<\/p>\n
The Jan. 23 headliner is \u201cConnor Ratliff presents The Acting Class.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Jan 24 headliner is \u201cOpening Night: The Improvised Musical.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cConnor Ratliff presents The Acting Class\u201d is a one-person improv show disguised as an acting class from the creator of the \u201cDead Eyes\u201d podcast.<\/p>\n
\u201cOpening Night: The Improvised Musical\u201d is a Broadway-style musical that is made up on the spot based on audience suggestions. The show stars Shulie Cowen, Norm Thoeming, Matt Young and Jonathan Dinerstien.<\/p>\n
The Jan. 24 post-headliner, Barko, brings calculated slapstick improv to the stage. Physical theater artist Nick Gillette, martial artist-philosopher Pim Van and polymath clown-writer Sam Miller find the humor in the everyday parts of daily routines.<\/p>\n
In addition to the spotlight performances, the festival has a lineup of 39 improv teams representing the Lehigh Valley, New York City, Philadelphia, Washington D.C., Chicago and Pittsburgh.<\/p>\n
Attendees ages 13-17 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.<\/p>\n
