Quick Scenes is a new web series that brings the fun of improvisation comedy to the spotlight by featuring the best improv groups this town has to offer. The idea for the show, “Quick Scenes”, was conceived by film student Jeffrey Wolz after attending comedy shows in Wilmington and seeing first hand just how much talent the city has to offer. Armed with a network of local crew and talent, Quick Scenes aims to create a web series that exposes the digital world to the magic of improv style comedy.
On Friday, December 6th the show will tape its first season with Comedy Troupe Pineapple-Shaped Lamps, in front of a live studio audience at TheatreNOW. The show will be open to the public with free admission and refreshments. Doors open at 9:30PM, show starts at 10:00PM. Pineapple-Shaped Lamps was founded in 2010 by a group of comedy-loving nerds who just wanted to make you laugh. Nearly 4 years later, the goal is the same, but the original group of about 15 has blossomed into an organization of more than 40 people, all of whom are invested in providing Wilmington with the best possible comedy entertainment.
Pineapple-Shaped Lamps has produced award-winning original works (Pineapple-Shaped Show, Best Original Production, Wilmington Theatre Awards 2013), two sketch series (TNL, PSL Presents), a radio show (PSL’s 30 Minute Comedy Hour), musicals (Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog, Cannibal! The Musical), a podcast (Pineapple-Shaped Podcast), and coming soon to The CW, PSL will be producing their own local tv show (Sketch-22).
