About this event
It's an open secret that special things happen on stage when their busy schedules permit Precipice veterans Bob Adler, Ric Andersen, Daniel Mont, Sheila Thibodeau, and Alice Lipowicz to perform together. We are fortunate to see their special chemistry on stage for the first time since the start of the pandemic, as they improvise a completely new comic play from audience suggestions at The Writer’s Center Theater in downtown Bethesda.

About the organizer
Precipice is a non-profit theater dedicated to creating great art improvisationally. Founded in 1996, Precipice has performed hundreds of improvised plays and taught hundreds of classes.
Our teaching philosophy is that improv classes should be fun and rigorous.
It’s rare when our students aren’t laughing for an entire class, delighting themselves and each other with the collective creativity that gets unlocked in a structured and supportive environment.
In contrast, many of the best scripted acting classes have a reputation for rigor. These teachers have high standards, and possess a deep and wide knowledge of acting training. This can lead to outstanding work, and a sense of accomplishment that is exciting and deeply satisfying.
Precipice’s improv classes combine the fun of a good improv class with a commitment to excellence, and a deep knowledge of improv. Our artistic goal is to unlock and channel students’ collective creativity to produce great scenes and plays, scenes and plays that are as good as the best scripted scenes and plays performed today. All classes are taught by Precipice artistic director Gary Jacobs who has over 35 years of experience teaching, directing, and producing improvisational theater.
