Washington, D.C. Event Calendar

Motherload is an autobiographical dark comedy about the wounds that accompany complicated mother-daughter relationships and the ways in which deep friendships-in all their crass glory-can heal and uplift. Together, Jenna and Justine work through their shared baggage – around dating, class, and most of all, both the lingering resentment and profound love that they have for their mothers-wild, unruly, and human in their flaws. As Nicole Hertvik remarked in DC Theater Arts, “It is the nuanced blend of comedy and vulnerability that gives Motherload its poignancy…Hall and Hipsky have created something intensely personal and yet very relatable in Motherload. The result is a moving theater experience that may be as cathartic for viewers as it is for the writers.”

Winner of Best Comedy at this year’s Capital Fringe Festival, Motherload is thrilled to return for two special encore performances at Studio Theatre (1501 14th St NW, Washington, DC 20005) as a part of Washington Improv Theater’s year-long residency.

Flying V has been saying for years that pro wrestling is an art form – this past summer Super Art Fight challenged us to put our pencils where our punches are (or something like that) and proposed the most epic of mash up shows. Flying V couldn’t say no obviously, and this unholy union was born.

Catch a full card of the Flying V wrestling you’ve come to know and love – lights, sounds, moonsaults, all of it. AND ALSO experience Super Art Fight: a live-action performance where two or more artists battle against each other on a giant canvas with the help of two quipping hosts and the Wheel of Death. A face off of cutting-edge artists against each other in the art of creative combat, reacting to whims of the fans.

Fisticuffs and felt pens. Piledrivers and pastels. Bumps and brushes.

You haven’t seen an artistic battle royale until you’ve seen Flying V vs. Super Art Fight
