Shear Madness
Charles Playhouse
74 Warrenton St.
Boston, MA 02116
(617) 426-5225
www.shearmadness.com
This is a real comedic whodunit with a different ending at each show, based upon audience participation. The audience works hard to outwit the suspects in an effort to catch the murderer. Much of the show is improvisation as a direct response to audience reaction and input. The Charles Playhouse is an intimate, cabaret-style theater where no seat is more than 25-feet away from the stage. This show is listed in the Guiness Book of World Records as the longest running play in U.S. history. Don't miss it, especially on a double date because it is a real ice-breaker.
Improv Asylum
216 Hanover St.
Boston, MA 02113
(617) 263-6887
www.improvasylum.com
Light-hearted humor is a great way to ease into a double date and enjoy a relaxing, fun-filled evening. The Improv Asylum's Main Stage Show offers interactive and unpredictable improv sets that leave the audience laughing all night. The show is different every night. The seating is "theater in the round" so the stage is surrounded by the audience for better participation and interactive opportunities.
