AOP – Improv Comedy at MLT

March 16 – 7:30pm
at Marblehead Little Theatre

What’s the Hype About?

Accidentally on Purpose (AOP) isn’t just another improv troupe. They’ve taken New England by storm, and their founders have even graced Boston stages with hits like the Awesome 80’s Prom & Claddagh Bing Irish/Italian Wedding Show. Picture a comedy style that’s a mashup of “Whose Line Is It Anyway?” sprinkled with a bit of Saturday Night Live and The Carol Burnett Show vibes—yes, it’s that good!

But Wait, There’s More!

The show isn’t just a spectator sport; it’s an interactive experience! Audience members are invited to throw in scene suggestions and even volunteer to be a part of the comedy chaos. The AOP team isn’t just composed of comedians; it’s a diverse cast featuring professionals from all walks of life—doctors, authors, teachers, tradesmen, salespeople, and corporate executives. Imagine the richness and hilarity that these different perspectives bring to the table. They’ve been crafting laughs together for over a dozen years, and it shows!

Ready for an evening that promises laughs, surprises, and moments you’ll discuss for weeks to come? 

Don’t miss this opportunity for a night of unparalleled comedy and fun. It’s not just a show; it’s a community event that promises to leave you smiling long after the curtains close. See you there!

The Most Epic Birthday Party Ever!

Something Rotten!

Something Rotten June 21-30, 2024 at MLTlive.org
Book by Karey Kirkpatrick and John O’Farrell
Music and Lyrics by Wayne Kirkpatrick and Karey Kirkpatrick

Welcome to the Renaissance and the outrageous, crowd-pleasing musical farce, Something Rotten.  Created by Grammy Award-winning songwriter Wayne Kirkpatrick, and successful screenwriters Karey Kirkpatrick and John O’Farrell, Something Rotten was lauded by audience members and critics alike, receiving several Best Musical nominations and hailed by Time Out New York as “the funniest musical comedy in at least 400 years”.

Set in the 1590s, brothers Nick and Nigel Bottom are desperate to write a hit play but are stuck in the shadow of that Renaissance rock star known as “The Bard.” When a local soothsayer foretells that the future of theatre involves singing, dancing and acting at the same time, Nick and Nigel set out to write the world’s very first musical. But amidst the scandalous excitement of opening night, the Bottom Brothers realize that reaching the top means being true to thine own self, and all that jazz.

Produced by Ariel Sargent
