Improvisational comedy show in which a director pits performers in an elimination-style battle and the audience's applause decides who is declared the Maestro.
Maestro is back at Dad's Garage on Wednesday, November 18, as part of a run of Wednesday night shows. It's a Johnstone format trademarked by ITI, and it's staged as a fast-paced, extreme elimination-style group battle royale—the venue describes it as 'improv bloodsport' because only one performer can be declared the Maestro by the end of the night.
The Dad's Garage general company competes under the watchful eye of a director, who assigns the matchups, keeps score, and throws ever-changing challenges at the improvisers. The audience's applause decides who takes the title. It's a recurring fan favorite for the theatre, and Dad's Garage is part of an international cohort licensed to produce the show.
Dad's Garage itself is an improv, stand-up, and sketch theatre with a mission to transform people, communities, and perspectives through laughter. It serves as a launch pad for emerging artists and runs improv classes, kids' and teen camps, and corporate workshops, staging hundreds of shows and dozens of formats a year. Maestro is one of those formats that comes back regularly.
