SOCIAL SUNDAYS

Lillian seemingly had the perfect life; a lawyer husband, a three-story dream home, and an invitation to dinner with the most powerful family in town.  But when she meets a ruthless designer, her focus turns from upper/downer cocktails and pearls, to house flipping and silencers. Bang! Bang! Wear something sexy! A dark, sassy comedy by RFT alumnus Kirsten Rasmussen, starring many of your favourite improvisors from the Rapid Fire family.

THE SUPERVILLAIN MONOLOGUES

A collection of the most powerful, beautiful, diabolical and stupid monologues in the history of masked villainy. Performed by humans and puppets! Written by evil masterminds! Including pieces adapted from Austin Grossman’s novel “Soon I Will Be Invincible”, prepare to submit to my indomitable will. MUAH HA HA HA!
