In 2002, Close’s protege – and writer for Saturday Night Live – Ali Farahnakian opened The Peoples Improv Theater (The PIT). The PIT has since become a mainstay for homegrown talent like Kirsten Schaal (Flight of The Conchords) and Kevin Allison and Michael Showalter of the MTV sketch show The State. Check out Super Free Wednesday on Wednesdays, starting at 6:00 p.m. The PIT improv teams take the stage all night with four FREE shows at 6:00, 7:00, 8:00, and at 9:30 with Farahnakian stepping out to perform with the theater’s flagship group, The Faculty. Get there early, passes go quickly!
