Class is back in session! Study Hall will be back at PHIT on Saturday, June 28th at 7:30pm. The only show of its kind in Philly (and most any other place). This month our full time faculty member, Professor Michael Yudell, will be vacationing on some tropical island and is unavailable to do the show this month. I actually don’t remember if he’s vacationing or just busy, but either way. He’ll be missed.

This installment of Study Hall will feature guest Professor Sarah Robey from Temple University! In a special American History themed show to celebrate the 4th of July, Professor Robey and the “students” (improvisers) team-up up to create a full hour of spontaneous comedy inspired by various topics pulled from our nation’s history. So not only will you laugh throughout the hour you’ll actually leave the show having learned something!

This show also welcomes 3 new performers to the class! Melinda Messina, Rob O’Neill, and Jacob Todd. Each is a fantastic addition to the cast and will no doubt help to make you laugh so much that you forget anything you just learned. Don’t be late to Study Hall!

Study Hall features: David Donnella, Frank Farrell, AJ Horan, Lora Magaldi, Melinda Messina, Rob O’Neill, Jacob Todd, Becca Trabin, Aaron Unice, Caitlin Weigel, Addie Weyrich. Directed by Mike Marbach.
