The Apple Sisters: Right To Bare Charms

ONE NIGHT ONLY IN THE DC IMPROV COMEDY LOUNGE!! WINNER! Best Musical Comedy Act, ECNY Awards, "Don’t Miss" - Backstage West, Critics Pick - Time Out New York & Chicago The Apple Sisters Award Winning 1940's era radio show from New York City "Original, innovative, multi-layered, and subtly subversive." - Charleston City Paper Description: 1940s Americana isn't typical sketch-comedy fodder, but that doesn't deter the Apple Sisters, who lovingly recreate the radio era onstage with endearing chemistry and a host of solid musical numbers. In the show, the Sisters broadcast their witty tunes directly to our brave boys fighting Nazi Germany, interspersing the music with slapstick choreography and live commercial breaks à la Amos 'n Andy.
