VST Community Series March 1-17

VST Community Series March 1-17

 

The stage heats up this March at the Virginia Samford Theatre during the first-ever Community Series event. From hilarious improv sketches to musical narratives, local talent is coming together for four shows you won’t want to miss. Grab your tickets now.

1. Gladys Improv—March 1

Laugh ’til you cry with this improv trio’s fun shows. (Gladys Improv)

Get ready to laugh yourself silly in this side-splitting show. In this show, local improv masters Michael Greene, Jacob Simmons and Tim Casper bring their own version of long-form improv called “Gladys” to the VST stage.

What’s especially fun about the show is that the audience plays a big part in what unfolds on stage. Before the performance begins, Michael, Jacob and Tim take a suggestion from the audience and improvise a full piece of comedy live.

With their lightening fast wit and wacky antics, you won’t want to miss it!

Conceived by local poet and DeadHead Matt Layne, VST Executive Director Philip Mann and Birmingham jam band legends T.U.B. The UnKnamed Band, this is one show you won’t want to miss.

If you love the writings of Mark Twain, this insightful and comedic collection of stories is a must-see this March.

While Birmingham actor Edward Miller told us he has performed the show for over 40 years, the VST performance on March 8 will feature something new—live music!

Accompanying Miller in his role as Mark Twain is Bobby Horton, a local musician who has worked as instrumentalist/arranger for Ken Burns of PBS.

With an amazing duo like this, it’s sure to be an incredible evening.
