Improv Mask Work A night of high art and emotionally naked improvised theatre.

Improv Mask Work is a live comedy set at UCB Theatre, where performers build scenes while working under the constraints and possibilities of theatrical masks. The form shifts attention from clever dialogue to posture, rhythm, and the small mechanics of physical storytelling. In a city with deep roots in improv and ensemble comedy, the piece reads as a nod to older stage traditions folded into a contemporary downtown context. Its most telling feature is how the mask can make even a familiar premise feel newly observed.
