About this Event

The Laughing Academy is delighted to welcome back our very own in-house improv team THE BACKLINE (formerly known as GULF OF GLENVIEW), making their final TLA mainsage appearance Friday, May 8th!

Featuring Laughing Academy longtimers Jon Chernaik, Michael Fish, Barbara Gore, Kenneth Gore, Pamela Martin, Deidre Ross, Rhys Chambers, Max Altman, Rebecca Lindell, Jonathan Webb and Abbe Delson-Plotnik -- these top students have come together to excercise their impressive improv skills as a traditional troupe, performing long and short-form scenes to split your sides, bust your guts, and tickle your ribs!

* * * * * * * * *

ACADEMY AFTER HOURS is The Laughing Academy’s BOYB (snacks and sodas available at the venue), grown-ups-only, not-TOO-late-night performance series!

So call the babysitter, bag a bottle of your favorite bevvy, and take a quick ride over to Glenview Road for free parking and first-class funnies!
