The Andersons was an improvised longform show based on wholesome 1950s television sitcoms.

History

The run of the show included a performance in The 41-Hour Improv Marathon.

It was reprised for a couple of shows at The Highball in late August of 2010, and once more for The Hideout Holiday Super Special at the end of the year.

Cast

About half the cast of The Andersons played the same, pre-established characters from week to week, all based on classic 1950s-sitcom archetypes. (The rest were ensemble players.)
