And Scene

Experience the ultimate theatrical challenge as Philadelphia’s finest actors and New York’s top improvisers share the stage for an unforgettable night of live performance.

Actors arrive with their lines memorized, ready to deliver scenes from classics like Mamet to Molière. Meanwhile, the improvisers step in with no script, no preparation—just their instincts and creativity to make it all work.

This one-of-a-kind format, inspired by Stephen Ruddy and first performed as "Gravid Water" at UCB, blends the precision of acting with the spontaneity of improv, creating moments of brilliance you won’t want to miss.
