CRITIC'S PICK:
Sat., Dec. 6
Zach Reino & Jessica McKenna: Off Book - The Improvised Musical, Variety Playhouse - This clever duo, known for composing the award-winning Peacock series 'Baking It' - starring Maya Rudolph, Amy Poehler and Andy Samberg - were listed as "Comedians You Should and Will Know" by 'Vulture.' In 2019 their first full-length album came out and now their improvised podcast 'Off Book' is being staged hither and yon to considerable acclaim. 'IndieWire' declared: "There are a very select number of people that can do what Jess McKenna and Zach Reino manage on a regular basis: coming up with a continuous stream of award-worthy improvised musicals in any number of styles." - Kevin C. Madigan
From the venue:
Jessica McKenna and Zach Reino create a completely improvised musical in an attempt to combat the notion that musicals should be “carefully crafted” or “thought out at all.”Off Book: The Improvised Musical | 12/06/2025 8:00 PM
