Improvisational Coffee
If drinking coffee and laughing is your idea of a great Friday
night then drop by the Storyteller Café. Every second and
fourth Friday of the month "Off the Cuff," an improvisational
group, entertains patrons with their unpredictable antics. Their
shows are very similar in nature to TV's "Whose line is it
anyway," because the show is entirely improvisational, and
audience participation is encouraged. The year round improv group
is part of Mesa Youtheatre's community out reach program, which
provides an outlet for young actors to show off their creativity.
Shows are every second and fourth Friday of the month, at the Storyteller
Café which is located at 2655 W. Guadalupe Rd. in Mesa. There
is a $2 cover and required purchase of one food or beverage item.
