About Gumball Machine
Hurricane Party is a comedy and improv show from Gumball Machine, performed at The Annexe. Set in the heart of Louisiana, where hurricane parties are a way of life, the show follows three high school friends who reunite in their hometown a decade after graduation as a hurricane rolls in. What follows is a night of revelry and revelations, with parts of the performance improvised so that each show offers a unique exploration of the characters and their journeys. The show runs for 60 minutes, uses water and wind special effects, and is suitable for ages 12 and above.
Why see this show?
A Southern comedy with real warmth — part scripted, part improvised, so no two performances are the same. The Louisiana setting and hurricane backdrop give it a vivid, atmospheric feel that sets it apart.
