Finally Study Hall has come back to Fringe! For the first time since our inaugural run in 2013, we will be appearing in the Philly Fringe Festival. Due to covid-19 we will continue our online format for the run to ensure the safety of all performers, guests, and audience members. Shows will be every Wednesdas at 8pm and Saturday at 7pm from 9/9 through 10/3.
The Wednesday and Saturday shows will be a little different from each other. On Wednesday you will see a mix of current events and 1-2 lectures. Saturdays will feature three different lecturers, no current events material. Both nights will feature great lessons, fun discussions, and hilarious improvised scenes that you’ve come to love from our live shows and our online performances.
In addition to fantastic guests we have an amazing cast for each show with some of Philly’s best improvisers including: Rob Alesiani, Fred Brown, Erin Cartlidge, Sarah Clemency, Caitlin Corkery, Dan Corkey, Keane Cobb, Frank Farrell, Marcely Jean-Pierre, Tia Kemp, James Knight, Lora Magaldi, Brendan Manklang-Kingston, Joe Moore, Robert O’Neill, and Aaron Unice. Long time Study Hall director, Mike Marbach, will overseeing each show and probably pop in to make an obscure reference or two throughout the run.
Tickets are $10 which is a more than our regular shows, but that’s so we can be sure to pay all our expenses including guests and performers. We are so grateful to have your support!
