Quarantined Together: Improv Comedy from homes across the country
A remote performance from the Alchemy Comedy festival in which improvisers from across the United States each perform a short scene with their quarantine partners. Featured performers include Craig and Carla Cackowski (Los Angeles), Jason Velazquez and Hannah Aslesen (Atlanta), Jay Sukow and Alrinthea Carter, Vin Vescio, Claudio Saavedra, Alex Honnet (Los Angeles), and Lynsey Bonell and Shem Pennant (Brooklyn), among others.
Produced during the COVID-19 pandemic, the show adapts the multi-city festival format to home recordings, pairing improvisers with the people they were sheltering alongside rather than their usual scene partners.
