"It is purely fun to watch the three incredible actors in a comic tour de force having the time of their lives making fun of some plays that may have seemed daunting before seeing the show."\nThe actors, who play a total of 75 characters, occasionally come out into the audience, making the show "an interactive comedy," Kinzer said.\nDale McFadden, the production director, said in an e-mail the humor ranges from satire to dry wit, and it encompasses many styles, including the sketch comedy of Saturday Night Live."\nTicket prices are: Wednesdays, Thursdays and Sundays, $18 ($10 for age 25 and younger); Fridays and Saturdays, $20 ($11 for age 25 and younger).
