Get Shafted w/ Elevator Action

Appearing every Thursday in September at 8pm

It's the technological marvel that made modern cities possible. It's
the closest physical contact most of us ever have with people we don't
know (unless we're Greco-Roman wrestlers, or prostitutes). And it's
the basis for Elevator Action, the improv show that doesn't go all the
way to the top floor.
First, cram a bunch of complete strangers into a metal box so small
they can practically smell each other's hopes, fears, and sweaty
underpants. Next, physically invade their personal space from every
side, even as they desperately try to remain "polite." Then watch as
the thin film of civilized behavior burns away, revealing a primal,
roiling clusterboink of hilariously inexcusable behavior.
Think of the most awkward, embarrassing, please-god-let-it-end
elevator ride you've ever been on. It was, what, 45 seconds long?
This one is 25 minutes. Come on, we're not holding the door forever.
