Ever seen an improv show at Funhouse Lounge show and thought “That was amazing. How can I be part of that’? Well, now’s your chance. Funhouse Lounge will be holding improvisor auditions Tuesday, July 26th, at 6:30-8pm.

We have done, and continue to do, a lot of cool improvised shows, mostly long form. Such shows as “USS Improvise, the Next Generation, the Musical” (Musical episodes of Next Gen), “Avenue PDX” (humans, puppets, music, but set in Portland), “Murder Mystery Machine” (The Scooby Doo gang in an improvised slasher film), Games of Songs (imp. Game of Thrones), “Stranded” (the crew of Gilligan’s Island on the island from Lost), “Clue, the Improvised Mystery” (based on the board game Clue). We also do the short form late-night show “DomProv”, which is a little more adult in nature.

We have weekly rehearsals, sometimes for the particular show coming up, sometimes just fun skill/team building.We are looking for players who are excited about these types of shows, and want to be part of our community. Our upcoming shows are :

“A Comedy of Terrors” (improvised Shakespeare play, but also with classic movie monsters)
“Murder Mystery Machine” (An improvised slasher film stumbled onto by the Scooby Doo gang)

He’s young, he’s broke, his landlord’s knocking at the door, and he’s just found out his wife is going to have a baby. To make matters even more desperate, Casey is struggling with his gig as an Elvis impersonator in a run-down, small-town Florida bar. When the bar owner brings in a B-level drag show to replace his act, Casey finds that he has a whole lot to learn about show business—and himself. This hip-shakin’ heartwarming tale explores what happens when one man trades in his blue suede shoes for platform pumps and discovers he ain’t nothin’ but a drag queen.
