is exhilarating. That's what we did Wednesday night., 1/26 Ok, I admit it - I'm one of the Shocking Enchiladas , an improv group. And thanks to the audience at the Bovine Metropolis Theater, we were able to experience the thrill of performing for an audience that was having a great time and appreciated what we were doing. It's exponential - the performers do a good job, the audience likes it; the performers do more of it, the audience loves it... and the performers find themselves breezing through their performance. Well, maybe that's a little too romantic, but the feeling and reality are very close to that. You can experience that yourself as an audience member... 3 more performances of the Shocking Enchiladas : Wed, 2/2, 2/9, and 2/16. Call to get your tix: be part of the sellout crowd. $8 (303) 758-4722.
