This Week Sucked: A Comedic Exploration of Your Crap Week
PHILADELPHIA, PA – CSz Philadelphia presents This Week Sucked, a new show that takes an audience member’s terrible week and turns it into fast-paced comedy. Opening Friday, November 2nd at 10PM, This Week Sucked runs every Friday in November through the 23rd. Tickets are $10 and are available at the door or online at csztix.com. The show is BYOB.
Based on long-running shows in L.A. and Austin, This Week Sucked invites audience members to share stories of bad bosses, breakups, hookups, adulting challenges and general woes. The diverse cast recreates those stories through a series of comedic improvised scenes. “This Week Sucked is about finding the comedy in crappy situations and the release that comes from seeing it acted out on stage,” says director, Erika May McNichol. “I love watching the audience member when they see their story interpreted onstage. They laugh the hardest which is a great feeling.”
“Sister shows at UCB LA and Fallout Theater in Austin have quickly become audience favorites,” says Executive Director Don Montrey, “which is why we’re excited to bring this show to Philly.”
The cast features: Joel Sumner, Shannon DeVido, Jessie Priesendorfer, Emily Davis, Deepu Murthy, Mariah Min and Bob McNichol. Directed by Erika May McNichol.
