In Concert takes a humorous look at life in America, in a series of rapid-paced sketches that cast a sharp satirical eye on the ups and downs of everyday life. Its comedy with a brain, and a show that doesn't stop moving until its over.
First performed in 1984,
In Concert has been touring ever since. The most popular of all our shows, it has been performed extensively at theaters, colleges, festivals, and jr. and sr. high schools around the country: new material is constantly being added, and no two shows are ever exactly the same. Knock Knock! is the most accessible of all Beau Jest productions for general audiences. Often taking a comic look at our inability to deal with an increasingly complex world, it is a showcase of the ensemble's unusual sense of humor, and their unique combination of acting, music and physical theater.
