Actors from Second City, I.O. and other comedy troupes join forces to act in 'Hitch*Cocktails,' the improvised comedy thriller/drinking game.
The audience can't stand the suspense. And, after two acts of drinking on-stage, the actors can't stand at all. This is "Hitch*Cocktails," a Chicago-based improv show.Every Friday night for the past decade, a group of improv actors from Second City, I.O., ComedySportz and other smaller troupes have gotten together at Chicago's Annoyance Theatre to perform a unique, two-act, totally improvised comedy thriller inspired by the master of suspense, Alfred Hitchcock.
"As you may recall, this is a two-act show," said "Hitch*Cocktails" artistic director and performer Cynthia Bangert. "So by the end of the show, it can get pretty wild on stage." Members of the show say its combination of improvised narrative theatre with alcohol creates an element of surprise, which is different from most other shows.
After they get their audience suggestions, the actors begin the show, aided by pitchers of mixed drinks, vaguely identified as "brown" or "less brown" by the cast. Although the veteran actors are careful to maintain control during scenes, working while drinking has its obvious challenges.
