ShawnMikael(s) in CoHi: The Long and The Short Of It

Short form: You remember short form, don't you? It's what made you first fall in love with improv in the first place: Colin Mochrie and Ryan Stiles playing a game of "Green Screen," Wayne Brady doing musical styles on "Whose Line Is It, Anyway?" But then, as you grew older, you moved on to more sophisticated things and packed short form away in your improv attic, the way Andy did Woody in "Toy Story III."

Well, for our two-year anniversary show, we're bringing it back. It's Throwback July, and Short Form's our Polaroid of the month...

This month's show will feature short-form masterminds Porkchop Volcano, long form improv from new-to-the-scene Brunch, and then those two other dudes known as ShawnMikael(s)

Porkchop Volcano is:

Jon Milstein
Seth Alcorn
Connor O'Rourke
Matt Stephan

Brunch is:

Connor Gorman
Dennis Johnson
Mace Schiff

ShawnMikael(s) is:

Shawn Westfall
Mikael Johnson

Our Host? We're really excited to have someone who is perhaps DC's most prominent and talented storyteller, John Kevin Boggs!

But: you can't see any of it unless you buy a ticket. And you know how that works: we only can sell a total of 5 (FIVE!) at the door. So get yours early and often...

Remember: Studio 1469 is BYOB!: Keep in mind that the space doesn't sell alcohol. However, you are welcome to bring your own alcoholic beverages to the show (provided, of course, you are of legal drinking age and aren't a gargantuan douche).

The Space: Studio 1469 (http://studio1469.com/), located in the rear of 1469 Harvard Street, is not your normal performance space: one part artist's hideaway, one part "white-box" theater, it's a hidden gem in bustling Columbia Heights. Please note that access isn't available on Harvard Street, but by entering via the alley off 15th Street between Harvard Street and Columbia Road. Once in the alley, walk straight to the end, where you'll find the space. More information. Directions, and a map are available here:

Show up: Afterward, the short-formers and long-formers will get into a big brawl. And by "brawl" we mean Bob Fosse-esque dance-fight.
