(openPR) - The National Comedy Theatre of San Antonio – the Alamo City's longest running competitive improv show – invites audiences to join them at their new home, The Overtime Theater, for a night of “good, clean fun” (Austin American-Statesman).
WHEN:
Every Friday, 9:30 PM
WHERE:
The Overtime Theater, 1216 West Avenue (between Olmos and Hildebrand)
DETAILS:
The National Comedy Theatre of San Antonio began performing at the Overtime Theater in March 2008; for the company's founder, Les McGehee, the theater is an ideal location for improv in San Antonio: “With all the improv companies in this city, both professional and student, it’s great to have a place like the Overtime that supports them. I would like to see this theater become the center for improv in San Antonio.”
In an NCT show, two teams of comics compete for laughs in a series of games built on suggestions from the audience, with a “referee” handing out points and fouls based on their performance and the audience’s response. “We try to make our comedy family-friendly,” says McGehee. “An NCT show should be the kind of place where you can bring your first date or your mom … just not together!”
The Overtime Theater also hosts the Next Stage Improv troupe.
