Pitch Slapped w/GG Hawkins
About this Event
Real pitches, real professionals. Our show begins with a screenwriter sharing their passion with our improv executive, who greenlights their movie! But in Hollywood, there's always a twist. To justify his job, our exec makes some key changes to the story with the help of the audience, his snot-nosed kids, and whatever other characters happen to wander by. Our talented improvisers then show you a trailer for the movie, then 30 minutes of the best scenes from the 90 min fictional movie. It's like watching a movie, without all the boring parts!
Each writer brings their own brilliance to our stage, and our improvisers go in completely blind-- the writer doesn't know what will change, and the improv team hasn't heard the pitch. Come for the satire, stay for the chaos!
