Riverside Theatre Works Presents B.U.M.P., A Unique Evening of Musical Theatre Improv

A hilarious evening of improvised musical theatre

Boston’s Unscripted Musical Project, or B.U.M.P., returns to Riverside Theatre Works in Hyde Park on Saturday evening, September 20 at 8:00 PM for a repeat engagement to share a unique evening of hilarious entertainment.

B.U.M.P. is a fully-improvised one-act musical. After getting a single suggestion from the audience, the cast of B.U.M.P. creates a musical experience full of heroes, villains, and comic relief and weaves their tale into a Broadway-like production all as the audience watches. Everything from the songs to the dancing to the music created by their full band is improvised. No two shows are ever the same.

The cast of B.U.M.P. features several local performers, many of whom specialize in improvisational theatre and have appeared on renowned local stages, including ImprovBoston, the Improv Asylum, as well as university and regional theatre venues.

B.U.M.P. has been described as Whose Line Is It Anyway and Glee meets Off-Broadway. BroadwayWorld.com says B.U.M.P. is “funny, with frequent uproarious laughter . . . intelligent and hilarious.” Read more about this fascinating troupe at http://www.bumpcomedy.com.

Tickets for B.U.M.P. at Riverside are $10 for theatre seating and $15 for table seating, and can be purchased at rtwboston.org or by calling 866-811-4111. The theatre is located at 45 Fairmount Ave., Hyde Park, MA.
