BRISTOL – Syracuse’s Main on Main Improv Troupe announced that on April 23 and 30 they will be returning to the scene of the crime. OK, it’s not an actual crime scene ... They will be a part of the third annual Comedy Criminals Improv Festival hosted by the Elkhart Civic Theatre. Main on Main was the 2014 winner and 2015 runner-up in the annual festival. Several improv groups from Indiana and Michigan will meet onstage for two nights at the improv festival to be held at the historic Bristol Opera House, home of the Elkhart Civic Theatre, according to a press release from Main on Main. Main on Main will be joined by Goshen’s GoProv, Pickapart Theatre and Procrasto-Nation from South Bend, and Bohemian Grandma from Michigan. Main on Main member Todd Lucas said of the festival: “We’ve had an awesome experience performing at this event the past two years. It’s a fun time, with lots of great talent on stage. With so many different groups performing, there’s going to a lot of craziness happening. It will be a great chance to see what our area has to offer in comedy improv.” Each group will be performing a set of improv games and scenes, based on audience suggestions. The top groups based on audience vote will then return for a second night. The Comedy Criminals Improv Festival will be April 23 and 30 at 7:30 p.m. each night at the Elkhart Civic Theatre at the Bristol Opera House. Tickets are $12 and are available in advance online at elkhartcivictheatre.org
