'Four Hearts: An Improvised Four Person Play' at Unexpected Productions’ Market Theater
If you're looking for a good laugh alongside a few tugs on your heartstrings, grab discounted tickets to the improvised play "Four Hearts." Running every weekend through mid-September, the show's cast asks the audience to share relationship experiences — the good and the bad, the passionate and the fizzled, and the funny and dramatic. The performers will then weave these real experiences into an edgy, complex, full-length play on the spot.
To score 50 percent off seats, grab your tickets before they're gone.
When: Friday, August 3 – Saturday, September 15; 8:30 p.m.
Where: Unexpected Productions’ Market Theater, 1428 Post Alley
Price: $7.50 (regularly $15)
