We humans too-often go it along, but Big Blue Door offers the alternative–six performers joined together for collectivist comedy! Welcome to The Hive! The Hive is abuzz with group mind, group scenes, and group laughter! While most improv forms focus on waves of two-person scenes interspersed with a few larger scenes, The Hive does the opposite, effortlessly creating a series of larger scenes.
Come into The Hive! This is like nothing you’ve seen before!
Check out the drones:
Kim Scott. Kim has a PhD in astronomy, which taught her that the universe is vast, cold, and entirely indifferent to our existence. To cope, she spent the last ten years working in Earth Observation space tech, driven by a perverse attraction to massive global problems and the juicy interpersonal conflict of startups. She brings these deep insights into why humans act so weirdly directly to the comedy stage. She has previously performed with The Vortex, Hot Tee, and The Life of Marie Gaglione.
Katie Noorbakhsh. Katie thinks requesting a dismissal from federal grand jury duty is some of the best fun a US citizen can have. It involves standing on a stage while a panel of attorneys asks you questions and laughs at all your jokes. Getting out of grand jury duty is not a recognized hobby so she does improv instead. Katie also likes books, her family, and the Blue Ridge Mountains. She does not enjoy saying things like, “Pick up your socks,” and “No swinging sticks in the house,” but she is really good at it.
Lisa Ryan. Lisa is a collage artist, mother, armchair dermatologist, and shadow-loving Radiohead junkie who won’t share her Lampo pudding with you. She has performed most recently with Yearbook Prophets and The Vortex.
William Edmisten. William is a professional software engineer and a part-time photographer. He also dabbles in birding, hiking, and geospatial analytics. His photo portfolio is available at cvillepics.com. He performed last with Big Blue Door spring ensemble Hot Tee.
Victoria Olson. Victoria is a veteran special ed teacher, single mother and lover of belly laughs. She sees life as a comedy of errors, laughs at inappropriate times and refuses to share her good wine with gum chewers. She has performed with Yearbook Prophets and The Vortex.
