The PIT Extends KAPOW-I GOGO!

Matt Cox's 3-part epic, geek comedy Kapow-i GoGo extends at The Peoples Improv Theater (The PIT) with a marathon performance on 8/29.

By popular demand, The PIT is proud to announce A THIRD EXTENSION for its newest theatrical comedy, Kapow-i GoGo by Matt Cox.

Her name is Kapow-i GoGo. And she's going to save the world. Again. And again. And again. Matt Cox's Kapow-i GoGo is an epic, three-part, live-action hybrid of Dragon Ball Z, Cyberpunk Space Operas, most of the Final Fantasies and every other after-school cartoon you watched in the mid-to-late '90s. It's a Geek Coast of Utopia. A Nerd Gatz.

...with cooler hair.

...and more robotic appendages.

Kapow-i GoGo is a theatrical experience built for an audience used to binge-watching Netflix. Continuing its buzzy run at The PIT, Kapow-I GoGo will do a hyper-marathon of all three parts - 9 episodes - almost 4 hours of content - on Saturday August 29th at 1pm. Intermissions will be plentiful, don't worry. The PIT's Love Bar is just outside the door to the theater, fully stocked and complimentary Kapow-i themed cereal will be provided.

The PIT's Artistic Director Kevin Laibson had this to say: "Kapow-i GoGo is that rare theatrical occurrence that is an incredible feat just in conception, even more so in execution, and beyond its scope manages to be a totally fun, accessible, charmer of a show. For my money, Cox's understanding of character growth and development is up there with O'Neill."

Kapow-i GoGo began as one of the most popular plays at The Flea Theater's #serials@theflea. For the PIT run, the show has been expanded and re-conceived into three totally new, separate evenings: Kapow-i GoGo Gooooo!, Kapow-i GoGo Z, and Kapow-i GoGo Returns spanning three decades and following our plucky blue-haired fighter on her journey to collect all the legendary Hydra Crystals, to compete in The World's Ultimate Warrior Tournament, to far-flung future dystopias and fights with power-mad cybernetic generals, giant robots, mountain monsters and assorted other final bosses. And, of course, saving the princess.

Kapow-i GoGo is written by Matt Cox with direction by Kristin McCarthy Parker (Hold On To Your Butts) and Joel Soren. Production design by Joel Soren. Costume design by Josh Boerman. Score by Brian Hoes. Fight choreography by Alex J. Gould. And featuring Michael Axelrod, Matt Cox, Asia Kate Dillon, Alex J.
