The weekly competitive improv tournament pits two teams against each other in a high-stakes, fast-paced rumble full of improvised games, stories, scenes and a few songs. At the end of the night, one team will be crowned the winner, and the audience member who offered the best suggestion will head home with a prize — and bragging rights.

'Sunrise Club' at Market Theater
Last but not least, join Unexpected Productions Improv for "An Improvised Night to Remember." In the vein of "The World's End," "American Graffiti" and "The Goonies," the troupe's "Sunrise Club" follows a small group of people who spend one night chasing a mission they need to accomplish by dawn. Maybe they'll save the world in an epic adventure or just try to find their way home. Either way, hilarity will ensue.
When: Sunday, July 29, 8:30 p.m.
Where: Unexpected Productions’ Market Theater, 1428 Post Alley
Price: $10
