Improvatorium, the company that brought you Zombience and Hitchcocked, brings you Pure Improv, a hilarious short-form improv show at Theatre Asylum. With long-form improv currently in fashion, Improvatorium returns to improvised scenes, songs, extended scenes, and traditional improv games that are now almost considered retro. The show is directed by Patrick Bristow (Ellen, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Who's Line is it Anyway?) and stars a rotating cast with a new special guest each show. Learn More

Although my wife and I enjoyed the actual event and the performances, we would have loved to have known the actual run-time is only 30 minutes.Written on Aug 02 2010

Quotes & Highlights
- "Forthright and funny, the clever staging avoids reverence while still applying depth to the weighty text, a testament to director Hilario Saavedra's talent and grace... unique and sparsely beautiful..." --LA Theatre Review
- "GO... a provocative performance piece.... Themes of death, infirmity and impotence are common throughout, which Saavedra and his darkly clad actors capture with subtle force." --LA Weekly
Description
Filament Theatre Company’s critically acclaimed production of T.S. Eliot’s The Waste Land receives the “Resident at the Asylum” award following a successful run in the inaugural Hollywood Fringe Festival. “Resident at the Asylum” awards are presented to the most outstanding productions of the Hollywood Fringe Festival and receive a subsequent extended run as a co-production of Theatre Asylum.
FTC’s performance of The Waste Land is revealed to the audience through the use of found objects, music, and spoken-word–creating a series of inventively hand-lit vignettes performed and engineered by Jason Bonduris, Celeste Den, Tane Kawasaki, Carla Nassy, and director Hilario Saavedra. The ensemble speaks the entire text of T.S. Eliot’s seminal modernist poem, excluding the Latin/Greek prelude, including all the section titles.
