6:30 Show: Every Sunday Test Drive features two brand new shows, never before seen on the Magnet stage, from improv, sketch and one-person shows to short films, stand-up and more. These shows are so new they still have that new comedy smell.
My American Cousin
My American Cousin is a one woman sketch comedy show written and performed by Jameeleh Shelo and directed by Min-aha Beeck. The show is a unique view into the life of an American Middle Eastern Muslim woman from the south side of Chicago, as she navigates her way through cultural pressures and societal assumptions. From arranged marriages to 9/11 and Ramadan nothing is off-limits. Featuring Jameeleh Shelo.

Not Your Ex
Explosively unpredictable. Always honest. Overly passionate. And music to your ears (literally). Everything your ex wasn't. Come join Not Your Ex as they debut an exciting new musical improv form.
Guaranteed to distract you (temporarily at least) from the songless days, sleepless nights, and restraining orders of your former love.
Featuring Cliff Campbell, Melanie Girton, Henry Kaiser, TJ Mannix, Emlyn Morinelli & Jen Sanders. With the fabulous Ari Scott on keys. Directed by Stuart Ranson.

8:00 Show: Every Sunday Test Drive features two brand new shows, never before seen on the Magnet stage, from improv, sketch and one-person shows to short films, stand-up and more. These shows are so new they still have that new comedy smell.
Lower the Boom
Matt Evans lies, embarasses, rambles, ignores and threatens people in this one-person character show.
Directed by Peter McNerney.

The Answer
Sure, you've heard of The Secret. But do you really need another "Secret" in your life? Or do you want The Answer? We thought so. Kim Fenwick and Sunita Deshpande star as your brand new self-affirmation in a whole new way of thinking as they self-help you to taking a new (and satirical) look at love and dating in the real world - as bitter and unfairly cruel as it may be.
The Universe is Yours! (Plus shipping and handling.)
