The Push Comedy Theater 763 Granby St, Norfolk, VA 23510, Price: $11.00
Dust off those caps and gowns… It’s Harold Graduation Time!!!

After months of training, countless scenes, and more audience suggestions than they can possibly remember, Push Comedy Theater’s Improv 401 students are ready for their final exam: The Harold.

The Harold is one of the most celebrated formats in long-form improv. Starting with a single audience suggestion, performers create an entire improvised world of characters, scenes, relationships, patterns, and surprises. What begins as one simple idea can grow into something hilarious, unexpected, and completely unique.

Over the course of their improv journey, these students have learned the skills and techniques that make a Harold possible. In 401, they mastered the final pieces of the puzzle. Now it’s time to put it all together in front of a live audience.

No scripts. No plan. Just a suggestion, a stage, and a group of improvisers ready to trust the process.

Come support the graduating class and experience a show that will never be performed again exactly the same way.
