The Saturday Night Special was an improv double-bill that ran Saturday nights at Salvage Vanguard Theater.

Summary

The acts were scheduled by Shannon McCormick.

Often, a single act would open a month of shows.

History

The first Saturday Night Special happened on 3/8/08. It started out running on the second and fourth Saturdays of each month at 10:30pm. Then the following February, Gnap! Theater Projects restructured its schedule, expanding to include 8pm and 10pm shows on both Friday and Saturday. At that point, The Saturday Night Special became a weekly show that ran every Saturday at 10pm.

On Dec. 19, 2009 there was a wedding proposal on stage during the Saturday Night Special. One of the troupe members of Hugaday proposed to his then girlfriend. She said yes. Its final performance was on 12/22/12.
