After a few years off, Throwback Night is back on Fridays at 8:00p in March and April! The show features three casts performing classic improv structures. This year we are celebrating forms that were developed or widely used at HUGE over the last 11 years. The show will include:

  • The Armando - Directed by Jen Scott, Assistant Director Matt Prindle. This classic storytelling form from iO Chicago has been seen many times at HUGE. Jen and Matt will introduce the form and then work with the cast to make it uniquely their own.
  • The Butch - Directed by Butch Roy, Assistant Director Ari Newman. Developed by the cast of Show X, The Butch is a fast-paced, brain breaking form designed to take you to new and unexpected places.
  • The Free Association - Directed by Alexis Camille, Assistant Director Becky Hauser. Originally an improv exercise, The Free Association became a structure after development by The Bearded Company. This highly physical form is all about heightening and absorbing characters through group development.

Requests for auditions are now open here: https://forms.gle/S3b8fpMG72oTEvdr7

Auditions for Throwback Night are open to all. We believe our stage should reflect our city - BIPOC performers are strongly encouraged to apply. If you are unable to find an audition slot that works for you, please reach out to info@HUGETheater.com to arrange an alternate time.
