About Pilgrim:

• Named for the pub in Liverpool where they first improvised together, Pilgrim is an improv team featuring the dynamic husband and wife duo, Phil Green and Cecilia Romanotto. With a shared love for storytelling and a deep connection both on and off the stage, Pilgrim's performances are a blend of sharp wit, heartfelt moments, and seamless chemistry. The two create scenes that are both hilarious and relatable. Together, they explore the vast landscapes of human relationships, bringing their unique perspective to every show.

About Picture Perfect:

• Picture Perfect is a group created from the Bit's FASTrack program.  Each of these performers auditioned to be placed with a Bit coach (Susie Carroll) and together they created Picture Perfect.  The members of Picture Perfect are: Amy Philippon, Andy Douglas, Bill Weldon, Kathy McJacobson, Fred Fedawa, Jonah Bardwell, and Tricia Hewson. This troupe uses photos from the audience's photo stream.  Audience members will have an opportunity to submit their photos before the show.
