Dad’s Garage performing four shows at the High Museum

It’s going to be a busy June for Dad’s Garage Theatre.

On Fri., June 5 , and Fri., Jun 19, members of Dad’s Garage will be at the High Museum of Art to perform in collaboration with  Los Trompos, an installation designed by Héctor Esrawe and Ignacio Cadena that activates the public space with interactive sculptures.

Dad’s Garage improvisers will use the more than 30 larger-than-life, colorful spinning tops installed throughout Sifly Piazza as individual performance spaces, creating a more intimate environment for the audience. Audience members will get to partake in a series of improv games with the performers, and a couple of innocent bystanders may be roped into the show as well.
 
For those of you already familiar Dad’s Garage, the theatre company needs your help. Dad’s Garage is currently holding a capital campaign to raise funds for decorating their newly acquired improv house (a church in the Old Fourth Ward reverently referred to as the “House of Dad’s”). Donations will be geared towards making the venue operational — that includes building risers, installing a lighting grid, and putting in a sound system. Dad’s Garage also hopes to add other amenities such as an elevator for handicapped performers and patrons, a bar, turbo toilets, and a greenroom/rehearsal space for backstage privacy. More Information about the fundraiser can be found here. 

If you just  can’t get enough of Dad’s Garage shenanigans, then come to the second annual Dad’s Garage and Friends at Fox Theatre on Sat., June 13. The  all-star comedy extravaganza includes a series of improv games, skits, animated pieces, and a game-changing improv jam. But the icing on the cake is the star-studded lineup; acts include Collin Mochrie from “Who’s Line is it Anyway” and “The Drew Carey Show,” Gary Anthony Williams from “The Boondocks,” Fred Willard from Anchorman: The Legend of Rob Burgundy, and several others.
