The Escapists

Going out With a Bang!

So the bad news; The Escapists will stop performing come summer time. The good news; We are determined to go out with a bang. We've got a couple of shows coming up that have some of our favorite games and some things we've alway wanted to try.

We'll be at  Cheverus High School on April 2nd at 7pm.  Tickets are $10 and profits go to support Cheverus Theater. 

Our Final Show will be Sunday April 10th at 7 pm at The Acorn Studio Theater, 90 Bridge Street in Westbrook. Tickets are $7 pm. Our show will feature a feature an improvised super hero musical... and in honor of a certain real life musical we'll be featuring a game called "stunt double".

The Return of The Escapists!

Well perhaps that title is a little dramatic... we never left per se,  but we have been taking a bit of a hiatus ever since the untimely demise of our old venue - the late, great, Northstar Cafe.  We've been spending our extra time  perfecting the improv games we love and testing newer improv games to make sure that they will blow your socks off.  That's why were very excited to announce our upcoming show...

Sunday January 30^th at 7:00 pm at the Old Port Playhouse. 

19 Temple Street in Portland Portland ME 04101

Tickets are $7 at the door. 

We're really excited at the new venue and also happy to have our own "in-house musician" Shane Van Vliet. Our show will be a mix of short improv games and a fully improvised musical!

On to Farmington!

Thanks so much to Teachers Lounge Mafia and Lawnchair Pirates for a fun night of Improv and Sketch up in farmington on Saturday the 4th. It was well worth the drive to do some great improv.

Upcoming Escapist Shows...

Sadly the The Northstar Cafe is closed so we will no longer have our monthly wednesday shows. The Capt'n Eli Family Fun day has been moved from October to the spring. 

Fear not, we do have some plans in the works. We promise to keep you updated! We're also taking suggestions about what type of games and shows you most want to see, so feel free to leave a suggestion below!
