Intentional Dimension is a sketch revue that explores the WHAT IFs of life and liminal spaces. A liminal space refers to the place a person is in during a transitional period. It’s a gap, and can be physical (like a doorway), emotional (like a divorce) or metaphorical (like a decision). WHAT IF our sketch revue is just a liminal space?

Intentional Dimension

Take Two is a longform, narrative show consisting of TWO never-before-seen, made-up-on-the-spot movies! Give us a song, we’ll give you a movie! Based on a song lyric supplied by the audience, this group of movie buffs use their knowledge of cinema and genre to create two sometimes-logical 30 minute movies, making fun of the tropes found in your favorite genres: Romcoms, horror, action, holiday, and more! Take Two is a celebration of the things we love about our favorite flicks!
