BOO85

Ever wish you could go back to those cringe-worthy, hilarious middle school years? No? Okay, wait wait a second, what if you got to relive those years in hindsight, watching other people use your embarrassing story to create a hilarious, heartwarming, like maybe even healing? narrative right before your eyes?
Well now you can – without the braces or training bra. “BOO85” is an improv comedy show entirely inspired by your real life middle school experiences!
We´ll ask the audience about their best, worst and cringiest middle school memories. First crushes, friend drama, puberty perils – no embarrassing story is off limits!
Two stories will be chosen to inspire the narrative, performed in the classic Harold format. The remaining memories provide inspiration for hilarious asides and subplots.
As the improvisers breathe new life into old memories, you’ll find yourself transported back to your middle school years. You’ll cringe at the awkwardness, belly laugh at the absurdity, and maybe even get a little misty-eyed at the heartwarming moments.
Whether you were a cooler-than-cool skater kid or a mathlete with no game, BOO85 will have you reminiscing about:
“I ran out of PEN15 episodes and thought, there must be an endless supply of funny middle school memories to mine for comedy gold,” says co-director Whitney Benson. “BOO85 lets us all relive those awkward years through an entertaining, validating lens.”
Benson adds, “It’s been so cathartic to laugh at those memories we’ve suppressed for years. I can’t wait for audiences to have those ‘oh no they didn’t!’ and ‘omg I went through that too!’ moments.”
Don’t miss your chance to look back on middle school and laugh until you cry tears of pure, nostalgic joy. Let “BOO85” heal your inner awkward middle-schooler!
