"Thanksgiving came early to the Lesher Center with Synergy Theater's delightful production of Thanksgiving Unscripted: An Improvised Dinner Party Gone Wrong! Running through this Sunday, the improvised holiday gathering takes place at a young couple's condo where friends and family have come together to celebrate. But exactly how that celebration unfolds and what the couple may or may not be hiding is up to the audience."
"The night I saw the show, the audience decided the pregnant female half of the couple would be searching for an eviction notice that she's hiding from her fiance, while the fiance suffers from a kidney stone that he tried to ignore as the couple hosted their first holiday party. Artistic Director Kenn Adams brings plenty of comedy to the celebration as the bigmouth neighbor with a rather complicated love life."
"Amanda Kristin Nichols, left, Karen Killeen and Aimee Doherty relive childhood dreams of stardom in "The Hills of California," an exquisite play by Jez Butterworthy playing at Berkeley Rep through Dec. 5.

Synergy Theater stages Thanksgiving Unscripted as an improvised holiday dinner at a young couple's condo where audience suggestions shape the plot. One performance featured a pregnant partner hiding an eviction notice and a fiancé coping with a kidney stone while hosting their first holiday party. Artistic Director Kenn Adams appears as a loud neighbor with a complicated love life. The 11-member ensemble generates comedic characters and situations across a two-hour performance. Berkeley Rep presents Jez Butterworth's The Hills of California, a play about four adult Webb sisters returning to a Northern England seaside town amid emotion and complex relationships.
