LOGLINE
The
Comic Evangelists, the world’s
first Christian improv team, travel to a Toronto comedy festival,
but their secrets and lies threaten to destroy them.
SYNOPSIS
In the small mid-western town of Kalamazoo, Michigan, we meet
the Comic Evangelists, the world’s first improv troupe
on a mission from God. We follow the team’s rise
from obscurity through the eyes of three longtime friends – Rick
Stevenson, a control freak with a Messiah complex, Noah
Fillobien, his dopey sidekick, and Nigel
Karuthers, a theater geek with a secret. When Nigel suggests that
Comic Evangelists enter the Toronto International Improv Festival,
the group immediately leaps at the chance to spread the word of
the Lord to a wider audience.
Joining the trio are a motley but spirited cast of characters
including Beth Winters, a nurturing mother figure; Hillary
Anderson, the group’s naïve,
guitar-toting minstrel; Boniva Brown, a newcomer trying
to find her place in the group; and the Gautiers, Sabrina and Jerry,
a father and daughter with their own set of issues. Along for the
ride is the Gautier’s neighbor,
atheist divorcé Blane Edwards, who has no idea of
the team’s agenda for him.
Despite Nigel’s insistence that the group
follow the festival rules and submit a formal application, team
leader Rick decides to just “let them know
we’re coming” and assume they are welcome
to perform. Their trip goes downhill from there.
COMIC
EVANGELISTS will leave audiences roaring with laughter
and praising the comedic powers that be.
