SWITCH/BOARD returns for five epic Mondays!
Fans of SWITCH/BOARD rejoice! The team that brought you such unforgettable titles as “Saved by the Graham Bell,” and “The Bride Wore Stripes” is returning to Stookey's Blue Room for five consecutive Mondays, beginning September 21st! Set aside one evening each week, and experience improvised screenplays, all cunningly tied to the SWITCH/BOARD!
The incomparable improv escapades of Nicole Odell and Sean Owens are once again underscored by on-the-spot composer Brendan Getzell. Completing the evening, of course, we have five new thematically appropriate cocktails, designed especially for SWITCH/BOARD by Stookey's resident mixologists, Kelly Blong and MK Vienegas. Come taste the complete set!
