Double Dose of Comedy

At the Katharine Cornell Theatre this Friday, June 5, Troubled Shores, Inc. will deliver laughs in two ways — both with scripts and without. Teen professional improv troupe IMP will take the stage for the first act at 8 p.m. to perform their improvisation games and skits based on audience suggestions, and will also perform their new piece, Animal Farm, created at the Chicago Improv Festival. Animal Farm is an instantaneously created play that tells the story of a typical day on the farm from the animals’ point of view.

Act two of the show belongs to Sketchy Teens, Martha’s Vineyard’s only sketch comedy troupe. This five-member troupe of teenagers writes, directs, and performs their own original sketches. Tickets are $10 at the door or $5 in advance from any cast member. The Katharine Cornell Theater is located on Spring street in Vineyard Haven.
