From the Foundry Archives: An Improv Comedy Show
From locomotives and ironclad ships to questionable beard choices, the best way to remember our local history is to laugh about it.
Join beloved Hudson Valley improv group DUTCHESS for an evening of unscripted comedy. You’ll hear curated historical accounts from the time of the West Point Foundry, which will inspire a performance created right before your eyes.
Come see a once-in-a-lifetime show that has never been seen before, and will never be seen again. That’s the nature of improv; it’s all made up. Performers hail from NYC and LA’s top theaters like UCB, The Magnet, The Annoyance, Reckless, and iO, and have appeared in McSweeney’s, Funny or Die, WhoHaha, and more.
Starring: Joanna Castle Miller, Lisa Pertoso, TJ Del Reno, Don Romaniello, and Michael Short
“I saw it standing forlorn and lost, in disrepair, high on its rock overlooking our beloved Hudson and I nearly wept at the potential to host a comedy show.”
Definitely Not Helen Hayes, 1971
*The show is improvised and may feature strong language and adult situations. Recommended for ages 13 and above.
