From Push Push Theater’s Aimee McCoy…

As part of our award-winning SmallTall Youth Program, PushPush Theater will be holding two summer camps in June and July. This year, both camps will include a theater, film, and improv component, and will allow students to try their hand at work behind and in front of the lights. The process will be centered on a specific text and the story will unfold utilizing all three components. The camp will culminate in a professional public performance at noon on the final Friday of each camp. PushPush invites all youth 8-12 and teens 13 and up to participate in the camps, and encourages the community to attend their final performances.

Stupid prior commitments prevent me from attending…

Over on Fresh Loaf, Clark (Superman) Wheatley brazingly promotes his co-worker’s performance tonight at Push-Push (10p).  I’ll rip him off word-for-word since I don’t think he’ll complain in this particular instance.

He might be too modest to post it, but by God I’m not.

Tonight, CL senior writer Andisheh Nouraee will join the talented members of the Doug Dank Project at PushPush Theater in Decatur to perform a free-wheelin’, mindblowing, chuckle-inducing improv performance. The fun starts at 10 p.m.

Here’s the gist of how the evening goes: Andisheh will stand before the crowd and begin talking. The members of the troupe will use these delicious thoughts and topics as fodder for improv. Andisheh decides when to cut them off and the process repeats until time runs out or the fire marshall has all parties arrested for safety concerns and/or noise complaints. Hilarity does indeed ensue.

Tickets are $5 at the door. Push Push is located here.
