The Board of Directors of HUGE to perform!

The actual Board of Directors of HUGE Theater performs Hilarious improv from a non-profit board? Aye. Fridays June 7, 14 & 21 at 9:30PM.

HUGE Theater is a so devoted to artists that even their Board of Directors has a show.  "We're not stuffy executives, we practice what we preach," says Board Secretary Jill Bernard.  “We apologize to stuffy executives, we know you’re only stuffy on the outside,” adds Managing Director Molly Chase.

The first three Fridays in June at 9:30 p.m. the Board of Directors will perform, but it's no cause for concern - the four are experienced improvisational comedians.  Nels Lennes, the Board Treasurer, has extensive experience at The Upright Citizens Brigade Theater in New York and The Annoyance Theater in Chicago, and has appeared in award-winning commercials, music videos and films.  Jill Bernard, the Board Secretary, has taught and performed on four continents plus the MTV television show Made.  Butch Roy, the Board President, taught and performed at the Brave New Workshop for eight years before co-founding HUGE Theater with Lennes and Bernard.  Molly Chase, the Managing Director, was an executive at Cartoon Network in Atlanta before moving to Minneapolis and appearing in several shows at HUGE, including the Saturday Morning Submarine Adventure Show.

As The Board show begins, the cast/board of directors asks the audience for an issue to resolve as a board, and they create original comedic scenes based on that audience suggestion. Among the topics tackled so far: the financial crisis, world peace and itchy hats.
