BURPEE'S SEEDY THEATRICAL COMPANY

24 Hour Show (2017)

​

"Twenty-four hours... would test the stamina of even the most passionate comic. But the siren call of the gods and goddesses of comedy cannot be ignored. Neither can the people of the hurricane-ridden Virgin Islands, whom the comedy marathon raised funds for in the fall of 2017. And this year’s marathon was even longer than 24 hours. Just six hours before the show began, the Burpees were on stage at TedX Columbus, performing improv about trust." The Denison University Website Read Review

​

"To say they gave it their all would be an understatement. The Burpees’ improv remained funny and unexpected as always, but their sleep deprivation gave the show an extra touch of eccentricity." Nina Cosdon for The Denisonian Read Review

The Legacy of Burpee's Seedy Theatrical Company

​

"Somehow the Burpee’s Way has been handed down from generation to generation since 1979 without adult supervision. The group size has remained about the same (10 to 20 members); they perform at Slayter or the Bandersnatch Coffee House; there’s a mix of men and women and majors (from theatre to biology to political science); only freshmen or transfer sophomores are allowed to audition; the format of the season finale remains the same; even The Book, the bible of all things Burpee, continues to be adhered to." From "Leap Before You Look", featured in Denison Magazine Read Article
