AOP – Improv Comedy at MLT

March 16 – 7:30pm
at Marblehead Little Theatre

What’s the Hype About?

Accidentally on Purpose (AOP) isn’t just another improv troupe. They’ve taken New England by storm, and their founders have even graced Boston stages with hits like the Awesome 80’s Prom & Claddagh Bing Irish/Italian Wedding Show. Picture a comedy style that’s a mashup of “Whose Line Is It Anyway?” sprinkled with a bit of Saturday Night Live and The Carol Burnett Show vibes—yes, it’s that good!

But Wait, There’s More!

The show isn’t just a spectator sport; it’s an interactive experience! Audience members are invited to throw in scene suggestions and even volunteer to be a part of the comedy chaos. The AOP team isn’t just composed of comedians; it’s a diverse cast featuring professionals from all walks of life—doctors, authors, teachers, tradesmen, salespeople, and corporate executives. Imagine the richness and hilarity that these different perspectives bring to the table. They’ve been crafting laughs together for over a dozen years, and it shows!

Ready for an evening that promises laughs, surprises, and moments you’ll discuss for weeks to come? 

Don’t miss this opportunity for a night of unparalleled comedy and fun. It’s not just a show; it’s a community event that promises to leave you smiling long after the curtains close. See you there!

Plaza Suite

Plaza Suite by Neil Simon

PLAZA SUITE
by Neil Simon

Directed by Steve Black
Assoc Director Katie Meuse

Hilarity abounds in this portrait of three couples successively occupying a suite at the Plaza.

A suburban couple takes the suite while their house is being painted and it turns out to be the one in which they honeymooned 23 (or was it 24?) years before and was yesterday the anniversary, or is it today?

This wry tale of marriage in tatters is followed by the exploits of a Hollywood producer who, after three marriages, is looking for fresh fields. He calls a childhood sweetheart, now a suburban housewife, for a little sexual diversion. Over the years she has idolized him from afar and is now more than the match he bargained for.

The last couple is a mother and father fighting about the best way to get their daughter out of the bathroom and down to the ballroom where guests await her or as Mother yells, “I want you to come out of that bathroom and get married!”
