Theatre at Helmsley Arts Centre

 Starting tonight with Improv Comedy:

Theatre at HAC!


Right Here Right Now!
Fri 25 Sep, 7.30pm
Right Here Right Now is a hilarious improvised show that will bring the roof down with laughter! It's funny, it's foolish, it's fit for family audiences, and it really does make it up as it goes along. You bring the ideas and our merry band of improvisers turn them into chaotic comedy using witty games and gags to bring side-splitting stories to life.

No script. No clue. All chaos.

BATTY! Is an alternative coming of age story. A story of a woman who fears she might be a witch. An ordinary woman stuck with an extraordinary shapeshifting companion, a wild thing.

"Wow!! I haven’t laughed and cried so much in any other show - ever! This beautifully & skilfully written & performed show was just what I have been craving"

"Loved this show. So engaging and sparked our fascination. On leaving my friend described it as "a bit TOO relatable." Heartily recommend.
