GUEST ARTIST SERIES: Comedy

NUDGE

July 14 – Dec. 8, 2025

Long form improv comes to Open Eye Theatre! Veteran group Nudge (Taj Ruler, Katy Kessler, Rita Boersma, Butch Roy, Tim Hellendrung, and Jen Scott) create one long mono scene of improvised comedy: grounded, relational, sometimes sweet, often awkward, and always funny. Real life, but truly dumb. 

About Our Guest Artist Series

In addition to our MainStage productions, Open Eye is deeply committed to curating and presenting a dynamic Guest Artist Series that highlights emerging local artists and innovative performing ensembles who tell stories in ways that are fresh, fun, and experimental.
