BIDDEFORD — The American Chamber of Comedy’s newest improv comedy hit, “Spring Fling,” continues its run this weekend, Saturday, April 20, with a family-friendly show at 7 p.m., followed by a sometimes salty, late night 9:15 p.m. performance.
Scenes are made up right on the spot with help from the audience. “And because the cast lineup is always changing and no two audiences are ever alike, no two shows are ever alike. Every night is opening night, and every night is closing night,” Steve Burnette, co-founder of the group, said.
“And on Friday the 26 we are working with our friends at Biscuits and Company with a very special Spring Chicken dinner pop-up theater package,” he said.
Members of The American Chamber of Comedy are Mary Boucher, Amanda Eaton, Caleb Wilson, Meredith Brustlin, Nate Greene, Stephen Corning, Bob LeBlanc, Molly McGill, David Hanright, Dennis Hunt, Samuel Kuykendall, Stephanie Rose, Joe Swenson, Marie Stewart Harmon, and Tuck Tucker. Five or six of the ensemble are slated to perform any given night.
The American Chamber of Comedy is part of the Maine Repertory Theater, an intimate professional theater company founded by Steve Burnette and David Hanright, located at the Pepperell Mill at 40 Main St. in downtown Biddeford.
When attending performances at Maine Rep, patrons are encouraged to bring non-perishable food items that will be donated to the Biddeford and Saco food pantries. Additionally 2 percent of each ticket sold is donated to Habitat for Humanity, and another 2 percent to Volunteers of America.
Tickets are $15 and $18, and can be purchased online at www.MaineRepertoryTheater.com or by calling the box office at 205-6201, or visiting the theater during office hours.
