Meet our Improv Troupe member and director, Aaron Dodson!

"Hello! I am the Director, some would say Ring Master, of the show. I'd like to thank my wife and Improv cohort Angel who keeps me glued together and my house a home. I'd also like to thank my family for their support and my actors for all the laughs and making this production possible."

We can't wait too see you all on Friday night for Ghouls and Gags! Get your tickets on our website or at the door.
