Get Up won Best of the Week in Week 2 of Frontera Fest. We debuted our new format, “The Adventurers” and got a great response. Here’s and excerpt from a review of our Best of the Week performance:

Get Up improvisers Shannon McCormick and Shana Merlin are so in sync, it’s scary. Is it supernatural? A mind meld? Or just wicked smart improv? Here they brought us “The Adventurers,” a riff off 1930s serial drama. Their characters, Maurice and Josephine, recover ancient manuscripts and battle Katarina Von Eivel, their archrival. After asking the audience to suggest an exotic location, a girl threw out “Djibouti” but mispronounced the country’s name. McCormick didn’t miss a beat – that man knows his geography. Then, Maurice and Josephine were off – to Africa, lions, village elders, and improv hilarity that left me craving more.
