Standing in abandoned building somewhere in Downtown, Pittsburgh is Warp Zone. Dimly lit, this is a classic improv troupe. The wall is peeling, everyone looks ominous. Erica stands with her hands on her hips, in a red flannel and yellow cardigan. Liz in a blue dress with pink belt. John, well, can barely see John, but he is looking debonair I am sure with his red hair and bearded mane. Kyle is wearing glasses dead center, looking dead into the camera, with his dead eyes. Jerome stands with his hands behind him in a blue oxford and khakis. Brett is wearing the same, but with rolled up sleeves and his well-coiffed hair. Abby stands foreground with an all-over print shirt and side bang. Mike rounds out the crew (and shout out to Mike who did this whole photo shoot).

The Bonerz

The premier house team at Arcade with a weekly show for over 5 years.

And an accompanying solo monthly show during where they would take their JTS Brown form to the absolute extreme. Audiences never knew what to expect, who to expect, when to expect… except a good time.

Many festivals. Many laughs. Many hi-jinks.

Some random highlights:

  • Turned Arcade into a fully functioning Carnival complete with raffles, games (pop-a-shot!), funnel-cake!
  • Did a show in an alley, because that is where everyone in Warp Zone liked to hang out between shows and decided to bring the entire audience out.
  • Two sold out shows at the iO Theater as part of Chicago Improv Festival

    • Once a Boner, always a Boner.
