[Show] Full of Bones, Part-Time Lifeguards, What If... #HIF2025

The 2025 Hartford Improv Festival is proud to present this improv comedy show featuring these great teams!

Full of Bones is an Improv team forged from the depths of hell. The team is composed of Tony Ferraro, Robert Johnston, Meredith Dietz, Mark Burns, Chris Tucker, and Madeline Wolfson. They have been described as having "broken brains" and being "rotten to the core". Full of Bones promises to deliver a phrenetic, absurd, and straight up silly hour of improv that's guaranteed to tickle your funny bone.

What If is a solo improv show that tells the story of someone trying to overcome self-imposed obstacles in order to do something they've always wanted to try. It involves the audience in key elements of the story as well, giving them a hand in how the narrative unfolds. The goal is to tell a very human story that celebrates the flaw, fabulosity and funniness that we all have inside of us.

Mary Carpenter, the creator & performer of What If, is an actor, improviser, teacher, director & writer. She is a graduate of Northwestern and LAMDA. What If premiered at CSz Philadelphia’s 3-2-1 show, and has also been seen at SideQuest’s Weird Weekend. Mary has a company player at ComedySportz Philly for over 30 years. Other improv: City of Nutterly Love with The Second City, Dangerous Fools ‘Til Death Do Us Part, 3M, Blank: An Improvised Star Wars Story, and more. She wrote Do Or Do Not: How To Improvise Like A Jedi.
