DSI Comedy Theater Takes Audiences on a Unique Cinematic Journey in June

Just in time for the rush of summer movies, DSI Comedy Theater is running a full month of PT Scarborough is a Movie throughout June. The Triangle comedy mainstay is presenting this inventive improv comedy show every Friday night in June at 9:30 p.m. Tickets cost $10. A different DSI house team will also perform at each show. DSI Comedy Theater is located at 200 N. Greensboro St, in the Carr Mill Mall between Elmo's and Southern Rail. Details online: www.DSIcomedy.com

During PT Scarborough is a Movie, veteran improviser PT Scarborough does the unimaginable; he completely overdubs the soundtrack to a motion picture, live before the audience's eyes. Based on films the audience has randomly chosen, PT takes to the stage to spin whatever's on-screen into comedy gold.

"I grew up on MST3K (Mystery Science Theater) and loved that interaction with old movies," explains Executive Producer Zach Ward, "But what PT does in nothing short of amazing. Instead of just making fun of the movie he literally MAKES the movie, and audiences can't get enough of it."

PT Scarborough, a Chapel Hill native, has been improvising for over eight years and has been with DSI since 2003, when it all started at an ice cream shop. PT's improv career began in high school when he was a cast to perform with Chapel Hill High's Improv Company. PT is a former clerk at VisArt Movie Store.
