DIF Show: Friday, October 4, 8:00 PM: LOL Theater

Join us at LOL Theater for performances by Manacle & The Well-Made Play!

Manacle:
Manacle creates an improvised short play based on a story found in the audience. Eric and Aden take a few minutes at the top of every show to interview a real-life couple sitting in the crowd. Using their information, Manacle improvises a theatrically crafted performance that, complete with leads and with supporting characters, gives you a voyeuristic glimpse into the audience couples feelings, experiences and history. Whoever they get the story from, Manacle strives to give you a stage performance that feels as though each moment has been blocked, scripted, choreographed and rehearsed while still finding ways to surprise, break and delight each other.

The Well-Made Play:
The Well-Made Play is patient and confident. It takes its time building up its tension, building up your emotional investment, and when it finally cuts loose, you're right on the edge of your seat. You're a giddy voyeur on the day when everything counts, and after which nothing can be the same.

The Well-Made Play is a fully improvised, full-length two-act play that takes its cues from traditional theater. Every move from both the cast and technical improvisers feels intentional and scripted. We're confident that you've never seen a show quite like this one!

The performance is Friday, October 4, 8:00 PM. The venue is LOL Theater at 3851 N Lincoln Ave.
