When did you feel Adult?
‘I bought furniture I didn't need to assemble myself.’
‘At my Bar Mitzvah!’
‘When I actually remembered to change my oil.’
'One night I prioritized going to sleep over staying out partying -- that felt Adult.'
‘When I took my Dad's keys away.’
‘Never.’
Tell us about your adulting - the freedom, the fun, the burden - and watch the cast spontaneously perform hilarious & heartwarming scenes & monologues inspired by your stories
Here’s what happens at a typical T&G show: At the top of the performance, the audience is given an index card, a pen, and a provocative prompt, such as ‘share a secret you keep,’ ‘what do you want to do before you die,’ or ‘who are you?’ This year the question is 'when did you feel Adult?' Encouraged to honestly share their true thoughts and feelings, the audience anonymously submits their responses, which are randomly drawn by the actors and read aloud. The ensemble then spontaneously performs a montage of funny and touching scenes & monologues inspired by their audience-collaborators’ submissions, exploring the experiences that connect us all. Performances are anchored by live improvised music!

Tongue & Groove has been performing since 2006. Founder and Artistic Director Bobbi Block trains the ensemble in her hybrid approach of acting, improv and playwriting, called Actors’ Improv. The company strives to create theater that elevates the power of communal spontaneous creation.
