Latenight Improv Returns to Taproot's Mainstage

Friday nights after Smoke on the Mountain Homecoming

SEATTLE – July 20, 2009 – Taproot Theatre is bringing Late-Night Improv back to the Mainstage this summer for three hilarious evenings of fun. Following the performances of Smoke on the Mountain Homecoming on July 24 and 31 and August 7, Taproot’s improvisers will take the stage to entertain audiences with their imaginative sketches based on audience suggestions. Performances start at 10:15 p.m., or shortly after the Mainstage performance ends.

Tickets are $10 at the door, or $8 for patrons staying after the performance of Smoke on the Mountain Homecoming. Taproot Theatre is located at 204 North 85^th Street in Greenwood.

Smoke on the Mountain Homecoming is a toe-tappin’, knee-slappin’, heartwarmin’ bluegrass gospel extravaganza. Written by Connie Ray and conceived by Alan Bailey, with musical arrangements by Mike Craver, this musical runs through August 8. For tickets, call the box office at 206-781-9707.
