The year is 1986, and both Russia and USA are desperate for an end to their Cold War tensions. When Ronald Reagan an Mikhail Gorbachev meet at the Reykjavik Summit, however, they discover that they share a different kind of tension…sexual. REAGACHEV is the historically inaccurate, musical, satirical chronicling of that very summit that some call “brilliant” and others call “just plain weird”. So join in the thrill, betrayal, and romance that is REAGACHEV.

The Woodward
Over-the-Rhine

In just six short months, improvisors from all over the country will descend upon Cincinnati for one reason: no, not the World Series. NO, not the Grammys. It’s the 4th Annual Improv Festival of Cincinnati, lovingly known as IF Cincy (September 5th-10th). But since we don’t know what will happen between now and then, we thought you needed a sneak peek. Join our crew for short performances by some of our favorite local and visiting troupes, plus a headlining performance from OTRimprov. Keep checking back at www.ifcincy.com for details on this year’s festival!

Memorial Hall Studio
Over-the-Rhine

Two teams battle it out for laughs and points while improvising scenes based upon audience suggestions. The teams are under the command of the Referee and at the mercy of the fans, who control the outcome of the match! Our show is entirely improvised. A ComedySportz match only works with your suggestions. Just keep them clean or the Referee could call a foul and you’ll be wearing a bag on your head.
