Event Highlights
More Details About This Event: Between sketch comedy and performance art, improvisation and stand-up acts, musical theater and abstract "theatre" lies Mosaic: our unconventional take on 18 different social, personal and political happenings of today. Be it song, sketch, parody, puppet show, guessing game: every week, the cast and writers find freshly creative ways to redefine comedy and shed light on our lives and yours. The group can't tell you exactly what combination of originality you'll see any given week, but they can promise this: the show is updated regularly, so even after you love it once, you can come back and love it again.
In the footsteps of modern hits like 'The Daily Show' and 'The Colbert Report,' the humor is not just funny, but edgy; there's a deep underlying satire of the modern day in the show. Audience members often leave the performance not only laughing, but compelled to reconsider the issues around them. Mosaic is also highly interactive. Performers interact briefly with audience members between pieces in a variety of ways, often even bringing audience members on stage to participate in pieces. The standard full show is performed in front of a metal frame on which 18 tiles are arranged, with each tile representing one sketch, song, etc. about some aspect of modern life. Mosaic completed a successful run at ImprovBoston in May 2006 and was subsequently invited to perform at the Lowell Comedy Festival, then ImprovBoston's "Goonfest" comedy festival, and finally at Boston Playwrights' Theatre this October. The show has received several enthusiastic standing ovations from audiences during these runs and was selected by The Boston Globe as one of "Five Productions That Make a Good Argument for Why Smaller is Better." About ImprovBoston: Since 1982, ImprovBoston has entertained audiences in New England and around the country with an innovative, fresh approach to improvisational theater, showcasing the best performers working today and training the future stars of tomorrow.
