By the end, the audience can't stand the suspense!
The actors can't stand at all!
Hitch*Cocktails starts with a fear, but not an ordinary fear – one that is unique to you, a member of our audience. What unfolds from that suggestion is a full-length improvised thriller in the style of Alfred Hitchcock: stylish, suspenseful, and entirely unscripted.
We also have a fully stocked bar on stage. And one very strict rule: any time an actor is offered a drink, it must be finished before the end of the scene. This means every show will get more complicated — one way or another. As the stakes keep rising, the cast keeps drinking, the performances get bolder, the danger gets closer, and the suspense gets more hilariously heightened.
