Is a both a live show and collective of five artists working together to create not just a live, weekly performance but also a vehicle for learning the ins and outs of producing live shows. Each week a different member is completely responsible for producing that week’s show, making each cast member not only a producer but also a performer in each of the four shows they don’t curate. In addition,
each member will also tackle a theme for their week, producing and booking their show based around that theme. Artists outside of the collective will also be added to further the experience and add variety to each show. When all is said and done, each cast member will not only know how to work on a team but will also be able to produce a show on their own. Winning! [[Said in the voice of the great Charlie Sheen]]
