   Calamity Improv
Saturday August 14th performance - is cancelled.
"Since Calamity offers us more flexibility and less financial “weight”, we have the luxury of making decisions about these shows on a case by case basis. This will prove useful with the rapidly changing public health climate. Note: The show this weekend (8/14 at Arts Herndon) will not be performed. Calamity has some MAJOR developments happening in the coming months. We will be using this time for experimental rehearsals of our new concept show and additional training of our newer performers."
Natasha Parnian, Managing Artistic Director, Dark Horse Theatre & Calamity Improv Team.
