BEHIND BARS MUSICAL IMPROV + THE CYCLE

Behind Bars Musical Improv 

Lights? Overrated. Costumes? Too much laundry. Sets? Who has the budget? Enter BAT, the completely improvised musical performed in total darkness by the delightfully unhinged minds of Behind Bars. With no lights to hide behind, every note, word, and awkward silence counts. It’s weird, it’s risky, it’s dark (literally), and it might just be the best thing you (n)ever see.

Cast: Nick Harriot, Lara Newman, Tyler Dias, Susan Kernot, Alison Cooper, Nat Jensen, Zach Partridge, Jordana Wegman

The Cycle 

The Cycle is not your average improv show, it’s a glorious gush of chaos, cravings and comic relief. Forget polite punchlines, we’re bleeding this thing dry. Our cast whirls through everyday scenarios before cranking the dial to full hormonal havoc: think thirst, tears and rage in equal measure. It’s proof that mood swings aren’t just terrifying, they’re bloody hilarious.
This is a celebration of the mess, the leaks, the lows, the lusts, all spun into unapologetic comedy gold. We’re shining a spotlight on the resilience, brilliance and downright power of bodies that cycle, while inviting everyone (yes, even you, non-bleeders) to laugh, wince and nod along at the universality of feeling “fine” when, let’s face it, you’re absolutely not.
With honesty, hilarity and a healthy dose of oversharing at its core, The Cycle turns PMS into performance art and transforms the monthly mayhem into something raw, relatable and shamelessly funny.

Cast: Rachel Alexander, Lily Hensby, Anna May, Rachel Slee, Daynia Tupou, Jess Allen, Gabrielle Dadgostar
