-One Thousand and One Nights
An Improvised Arabian Nights invites you to experience the untold stories of magic, heroes and wanderers from a bygone era. Engage with actors and watch them create stories in the style of Shahrazad right in front of your eyes. An Improvised Arabian Nights is a long-form* improv performance brought to you by some of the Bay Area’s most celebrated improvisers and classical Arabic musicians. Our heroes and heroines inhabit an exciting world filled with Genies, Robbers, Viziers, Magical creatures, Kings, Princesses, Demons, Fishermen, Merchants, Ghouls… and more. Each evening’s show is created entirely in the moment without any script. Don’t miss the untold tales of the Arabian Nights!
