Audiences will burst their corsets and ascots with laughter this spring as Late Night at Taproot brings Taproot Improv Comedy back to the Mainstage. Building on the hilarity of the Victorian farce Charley's Aunt running May 12 through June 12, Taproot's rollicking, uproarious improv team hits the stage every Friday night with their best material.

Young love, enduring love, reunited love, unrequited love, puppy love-it's all here as Taproot Theatre continues its 34th season with Charley's Aunt. In this Victorian-era farce by Brandon Thomas, a quiet afternoon luncheon turns into a hilarious masquerade when college chums attempt to woo a pair of charming young ladies. After persuading a classmate to impersonate their missing aunt (and chaperone), mischief, high jinks and shenanigans ensue. Directed by associate artistic director Karen Lund, Charley's Aunt opens on May 14 and runs through June 12, with low-price previews on May 12 and 13, plus a pay-what-you-can performance on May 19.
