20th Anniversary Season with The EDGE
The EDGE Improv has performed to sell-out crowds regularly at BPA for two decades, and this season marks their 20th anniversary. On the first Saturday of each month, the troupe presents an ingeniously improvised evening of on-the-spot comedy, all from audience suggestions. The troupe's riotous antics have earned a devoted community of followers, and have inspired rave reviews and commentary from audience and troupe members alike.

"Sorry it took me so long to get here; I had to hitchhike." - Bhama Roget, troupe member

"I can't wait for the first Saturday of every month. Not only does THE EDGE perform, but my mother sends me a check to cover the damages I've caused. Thanks, Mom. Oh, and The EDGE, too." - Thomas W. Penchant, student (Frank Buxton, troupe member)
