Performance | Comedy: In These Woods


Twenty years ago, ABC pulled the plug on one of the most brilliant TV series of all time, leaving behind a tangled web of dangling plot threads and unanswered questions. Now, eight of New York’s most Peaks-obsessed improvisers will take matters into their own hands, picking up exactly where the series left off and continuing until this groundbreaking phenomenon has received the resolution it deserves. That gum you like is back in style. And yes, it’s really improvised. Starring J Hobart B, Danielia Donohue, Michael Newman, Reilly Owens, Greg Portz, James Rich, Lorie Steele and Shawn Wickens.
