VILLEPIQUE & DRYSDALE MOTHERF*CKERS! - LAST SHOW!
And now, a word from Jean Villepique and Rebecca Drysdale:

"Hey. Well, I guess the show is gonna have like some improv and then also some scripted stuff, we think. Then we might have some music or something we're not really sure yet. But it'll totally be funny and probably also cool. Also Christmas is coming so, maybe there will be some Christmas stuff for the holidays or whatever. We don't really know, yet, cause we're just gonna improvise and stuff. Anyway, we're really funny though, and you should just come check it out cause we have both performed like everywhere, and we don't suck. Yeah. I mean, whatever, it'll be fun."

THE EXPANSION TREE
is a natural extension of several classic long-forms. A single suggestion inspires a series of character driven scenes that exist within their own individual worlds. Each of these worlds are then explored in as many different directions as possible through scenes, monologues, games, songs or anything else that the improviser can dream up. As these "branches" break off and expand they inevitably begin to intersect and collide in the most natural and unexpected ways.

Featuring: Alan Fessenden, Elana Fishbein, Megan Gray, Leslie Korein, Eileen Mullane, John Murray, Garrett Palm and Nick Zimmerman
