HOLIDAY SALE AT THE ONION STORE

Artist Whirled News Tonight

With satire staples like news-rag The Onion and the empires that are The Daily Show and The Colbert Report, a weekly improv show that selects random headlines from the week and performs scenes inspired by them might seem unnecessary, but Whirled News Tonight carves out their own niche by having the flexbility to go both hyper local and international in their scope. And while satire is the main thrust of the show, WNT's cast also tends to be poignant as they are amusing—human-interest stories or dry business items frequently become engrossing scenes more ambitious than other theater's entire shows.
