Get ready for a night of laughter, sweets and spontaneous comedy as Hesston College Theatre serves up “A Comedy Cabaret” — a delightful blend of sketches, musical numbers and improv — May 2 and 3 at 7 p.m. and May 4 at 2 p.m. in Keim Center’s Black Box Theater (301 S Main, Hesston).

This performance will feature an array of hilarious scenes, monologues and charming musical theatre songs sure to usher in an evening of fun and laughter.

“I encouraged my students to draw inspiration from everywhere — classic comedy, TikTok, YouTube — you name it,” shares Rachel Jantzi, director of theatre at Hesston College. “It’s a playful mix of the traditional and the trendy, guaranteed to appeal to all ages.”

The experience includes entertainment from members of MaLARKey improv team who will lead a few improv games and offer the opportunity for audience involvement.

“Improv is all about spontaneity and creativity,” Jantzi explains. “The audience might throw out a situation, a famous person, or even a wild setting, and our MaLARKey team will run with it. Think ‘Whose Line Is It Anyway?’ but with a clean twist!”

Upon entering the theatre, attendees won’t find the traditional row seating of a typical theatre performance. Instead they will gather around small tables where they can sit back and relax while snacking on desserts and chatting between acts, offering a less formal, but still engaging production. Featured dessert vendors include Salted Creamery and Lyndsey’s Cakes and Bakes.

“I hope the audience leaves with smiling faces and happy bellies,” says Jantzi.

Don’t miss out on an evening filled with laughter and desserts! Tickets are limited, so grab yours today at hesston.edu/bookstore or by calling 620-327-8104. Suitable for ages 7 and up. For more details, visit hesston.edu/theatre.
