OTC Pie It Forward Comedy Special

Fresh laughs for a good cause.

Join the OTC Comedy Troupe as we Pie it Forward for the Parkinson’s Foundation on August 22nd at 8:00 pm at Lionheart Theatre in Norcross. All proceeds from the show will be donated and we ask other improv troupes to donate the proceeds of one of their shows in honor of Robin Williams who was suffering from the disease before he died. Not only do we take a pie to the face - we invite our audience to take one as well at the end of our show (we’ll even provide the cream pies!). Check out the video to learn more - click here.

The show will include improv games such as Foreign Film Dub, Oscar Winning Moments and Sounds like a Song. The OTC actors use audience suggestions to create scenes on the spot with hilarious results. Audience members even have a chance to appear on-stage in pieces like Slide Show and a new piece The Family Dinner. Unlike many improvisational theatre groups in Atlanta, the OTC shows are rated PG and family friendly. The show runs about two hours.

The OTC is celebrating its 10th year in the greater Atlanta area. The troupe was started in Marietta in 2005 as Comedy Cobb and has since expanded beyond live theater into streaming entertainment with the creation of its web show Improvultion from 2009 to 2011 which was seen by over 225,000 people worldwide. In 2012, OTC Comedy Troupe received the Community Impact Award for Arts Ensemble or Collective from ArtWorks! Gwinnett. The group has also created a seven part web series called Death By South which lampoons many of the paranormal shows like Ghost Adventures and The Dead Files and adds a splash of 30 Rock.
