The Movies (Richmond) Remember going to the cinema as a teenager? Hot buttered popcorn… lights going down in a plush, hyper-air-conditioned space… no chaperone… larger than life characters supported by Dolby (tm) surround sound… your crush leaning into you breathing heavily? Now imagine packaging all that sensation into a long form improv team, and you’ve got The Movies! This 7-person team consists of Coalition teachers and veteran performers committed to helping YOU escape from the cares of the world. Come for the grounded, narrative scene work, stay for the consequences none of us could possibly endure in real life!
