Fifteen years ago, the infamous New Jersey water park Action Park was closed down and renamed. Too dangerous, they said. Then, Magnet Sketch Team Action Park named themselves after it, and suddenly Action Park itself is back in action. Whether just a coincidence or a direct challenge, sketch team Action Park is wrapping up the summer by taking New York to Action Park.

The team creates a full hour of theme-park-themed sketch comedy and a full park experience that starts in the lobby and includes a real splash zone in the theater's front row. Will teenage park employees find their true love this summer? Will the waterslides give us all wedgies...that bring us to nirvana? Will all of the children please stay with their travel buddies? Step up to the splash zone and find out in this high-energy hour of sketch comedy from Action Park's multi-talented writer-performers.
