Flirt Reynolds is Max Holkan, Brendon Lara, Robert Price, and Vic Shuttee. These professional improvisers take the stage with nothing more than a single word from the audience, and create a once-in-a-life-time experience. Flirt Reynolds has been described as "Kickass," "Hilarious," and "Four amateur philosophers I'd want to get a beer with." With the perfect balance of smarts and hearts, they deliver high-quality post-modern performance art.  facebook.com/FlirtReynolds

Ophelia's Rope is the female longform duo Autumn Clack and Ruth McCleskey.  They come backed with extensive experience in theatre, improv, dancing, singing, TV and film, and athleticism.  The Ladies of Ophelia's Rope improv journey started in 2005 when they joined Massive Improv. There they participated on multiple teams, taking them to Austin, Chicago, San Francisco. Eventually, though, both Clack and McCleskey drifted from Massive Improv and it wasn't until some time later that both heard the stage beckoning them to return to improv. And thus, Ophelia's Rope was born! The team has performed in the Houston Improv Festival, the Austin Out of Bounds Festival, ComedySportz, Boston Comedy Arts Festival, The Trill Festival, and The PIT in NY.
