Shirts + Skins
Sketch Comedy Built for the Festival
Shirts + Skins is a wild theatrical experiment and totally uncharted territory for Risk/Reward. Our artists spend a huge amount of time crafting their applications and their pieces for our festival, so we thought: let’s also make them do something they’re totally and completely unprepared to do! Created to bring people from completely different theatrical backgrounds together, Shirts + Skins is a sketch comedy show like no other; with minimal rehearsal and preparation, performing artists of all kinds are thrust together in strange, wildly funny situations – for one single, unforgettable night only!

More about the artists:
Jason Rouse is an actor, writer, director, and teacher. Beyond the regular performances of his own, he also writes original comedic plays for middle and high schools – because they can’t just keep doing the same stuff, over and over again, right? Recently, Jason’s work with youth has helped bring PHAME’s Stop Making Sense and Wonderland to the stage, among many other things.
