    Tectonic we’re incredible. The theme of this show was camping and it was laughter from start to finish.
    It was so much fun to see how they took a suggestion from the audience and wove it into a show that had everyone in stitches.
    I plan to go again and see what they come up with next.
    Definitely 5 stars !!

  4. The cast has a super dynamic! As a first time improv-goer, it was good fun.

  5. This incredible cast captures the nostalgic vibes of the genre and performs incredible, supportive improv – it’s obvious that they all enjoy performing with each other, and that translates to an incredible experience that’s well worth crossing the river for!!

  6. Don’t know who John Hughes is? No problem! This show is really fun and can turn even boring suggestions into something great (the show I went to was an acupuncture office drama). The shows are lots of fun, and if you like them enough, come to multiple showings. They’re different everyday

  7. So good! The cast were all hilarious and had their own unique styles of comedy honed, with really great chemistry. Lots of laughs, would highly recommend. Thanks for the great show today!

  8. If u loved John Hughes movies you will recognize the subtle and sometimes not so subtle nods to this genre. Fun to watch and even more fun to catch the throwbacks.

  9. A long form improv show filled to the brim with tons of laughs and heart! Supported by a fantastic cast with wonderful chemistry together who weave a satisfying John Hughes-esque narrative that hits all the points you’d want from his films. All in all, just an extremely fun time to get to watch these improvisers perform together!

  10. Tectonic was a high-energy gem that kept the laughs coming and the surprises fresh. The cast’s chemistry and timing had the audience fully onboard from the first scene

  11. You don’t have to be familiar with John Hughes to fall in love with this show (and the adorable cast!). I went opening night and the show had tons of laughs and just as much heart. Tectonic really shines with their ability to build rich worlds, fun characters, and land smart jokes without missing a beat. Must see for improv lovers!
