We will be creating a Festival Ensemble of players, as well as a Local Ensemble of players and aSketch Ensemble of players. What does this mean? It means we will be making up some amazing new improv and hilarious new sketch comedy.

You will also get to see some stand-up and sketch comedy from Mark Little and Andrew Bush (of Picnicface fame!)
