Worlds Collide is a monthly live comedy improv show.
The show has two parts.
In the first part, eight improvisers will perform scripted character monologues. They might be from plays, movies, TV, or famous speeches. Whatever they are, they will let you meet and get a feel for the character.
In second part, the audience will decide which characters from the first round they'd like to see perform improvised scenes together. Maybe that kooky character will share the stage with that historical figure. Maybe that classical play character will have to deal with a modern celebrity as a roommate. Any pairing can happen as long as the audience is convinced they'd be the Perfect Match.
