ACME IMPROV COMPANY

Our 15th year!!

​

Can you believe it has been a decade and a half since the debut of the Acme Improv Company, right here at Acme Theater, right here in the glorious and gracious ArtSpace building, right here in the heart of Maynard, right here in the state of Massachusetts, and in the words of ‘80s pop superstar Richard Marx, right here waiting for you?  Right here, right now, the A.I.C. returns with an all-new season of improvised mayhem!  Every scene is unique, every theme is complete, no scripts, no nets, just laughter and fun!  For returning fans or new attendees, the Acme Improv Comedy is ready and able to bring you the best humor money can rent for 90 minutes.  Come join us!

OUR COMPLETE 2021-2022 SCHEDULE

INTERWEBS.NET
Friday, October 29, 2021
​

In the 21st century, the World Wide Web is ubiquitous and unrelenting.  Social media, streaming, online shopping, websites, apps, Siri and Alexa.  The internet is for… a lot of things, and it’s all due for a good Zuckerberging.  This October, the A.I.C. will present the entire internet to you live onstage… and you won’t have to say ‘Hey Google!’ once.

ALTERNATIVE HISTORIES / SEIROTSIH EVITANRETLA
Friday, January 7, 2022 & Friday, January 14, 2022

SHOWS CANCELLED
​
What if Alexander wasn’t all that Great?  What if the Mayans sailed across the ocean and discovered Europe?  What if Washington never stepped down as President of the U.S.A.?  History may be written by the winners, but the A.I.C. knows that sometimes the difference between a win and a loss can be just one small little thing, and the entire course of history can be changed.  A new year gives us a way to see how things might have been.

ROMCOM, ACTUALLY
Friday, March 11, 2022
​
Do you find yourself sleepless when in Seattle?  Have you ever eaten breakfast at Tiffany’s?  Did you keep a Notebook of the time at those Four Weddings when you needed Sixteen Candles and 27 Dresses to go on 50 First Dates?   If so, then come to Acme Theater this March and the A.I.C. will Say Anything to get you in a romantic comedy mood!

ADULTING! THE REUNION SHOW
Friday, May 27, 2022

​​Bills.  Marriage.  Jobs.  Insurance.  Laundry.  Kids.  Being an adult is hard work, and to close our season the A.I.C. will reunite with some of our lovely past cast members to help us grow up just a smidgeon.  Sometimes life needs to be laughed at, and we adults will do our level best to make it all a little bit easier for you!
