Misfit Players bringing improv to the Indie
Special to the News Tribune
KEYSER - A new act is coming to the Indie for the first time Friday, July 23, to make you laugh.
The Misfit Players, an award-nominated improvisational comedy troupe, comes to the stage to sing, dance and joke the night away.
“We don’t know what the show is until you tell us,” says Scott D. Foard, the troupe’s manager. “It’s like ‘Who’s Line Is It Anyway?’ but live and done our own unique way.”
Eight local actors came together just over a year ago to form the area’s only professional comedy troupe. Their 2020 season was cut short by the COVID-19 outbreak but they continued to perform on Zoom to hone the show and make the troupe one funny unit.
Mark Baughman, Pinnacle to perform at Indie
Special to the News Tribune
KEYSER - Mark Baughman’s Working Theory band with guest rock band Pinnacle will perform at The Indie on Main on Saturday, July 17.
Pinnacle opens the show for Mark and performs original music and classic covers interwoven in between. The music is characterized by catchy, memorable lyrics built upon a thick layer of high energy guitar playing and punchy rhythms.
Pinnacle is a young, modern-`day twist of artists such as AC/DC, Van Halen, Alice In Chains and ’80s rock. The band’s catalogue covers many areas of rock music, including an original Stevie Ray Vaughan-esque blues jam and a few acoustic pieces.
