SECRET CRUSH: Secret Crush is a long-form improv show fueled by terrible secrecy and extremely obvious feelings. Long before the show begins, each improviser secretly chooses the next player on the team as their “secret improv crush”—someone they’ve long admired but rarely, if ever, performed with. So the ensemble you'll see will be a one-time-only affair.
