🎭 WELCOME TO OPENING NIGHT… AND CLOSING NIGHT. SHITZPROBE is a fully improvised musical where a Broadway star throws away the script and makes up an entire musical on the spot. 🎶 Every song. 💃 Every dance move. 🎭 Every line of dialogue. 🎹 Even the score from the live band. It’s all completely improvised—and it will never be performed again. The best part? YOU name the musical. Shout out a title that doesn’t exist, and watch the cast turn it into a brand-new Broadway show right before your eyes. Past Shitzprobe guests have included Broadway favorites from Aladdin, Wicked, Spamalot, Funny Girl, Mean Girls, The Prom, Freestyle Love Supreme, Titanique and more! So… what the f*** is a Shitzprobe? A “sitzprobe” is the first rehearsal where the cast and orchestra of a musical perform together. Shitzprobe skips the rehearsal, throws away the script, and makes the whole damn thing up. ✨ One night. One musical. Never to be seen again. Follow @shitzprobe for more!

⭐️🎭New Musicals Lab 2026🎭⭐️ Week One 🍄 Shitzprobe: Magic Mushroom Mishap Shitzprobe Members⬇️ Ali Reed, Kiki Mikkelsin, and Adrien Pellerin Week Two 🩸 Jenny’s Damned Ex Playwright: Tommy Newman Music Director: Mark Hartman Staging: Grace Godwin Week Three ⭐️ Captain’s Cabaret: Let Me Be Your Star Director: Douglas Carpenter Week Four 🐬 TYA Presentation: A Day at the Bay Staging and Advisor: Gregg Lloyd TYA Creators and Cast: Annalise Sison, Emma Philpot, Ben Garland Imani Smart, Ella Greer, Matthew Crandol, and Brady Davenport Over the past month at the Ferg📍, I’ve been challenged, rewarded, and tested to push past my limits ☘️. At the New Musicals Lab, I had the privilege of workshopping Tommy Newman’s New Musical, Jenny’s Damned Ex, as well as improvising a full musical performance with help of the awesome folks at Shitzprobe ( @shitzprobe ). I also performed in the Captain’s Cabaret, singing “Let Me Be Your Star” from Smash, as a duet with Matthew Crandol. To cap it all off, I teamed up with six other company members to write an original Theatre for Young Audiences (TYA) musical titled A Day at the Bay. None of these Opportunities would’ve been possible if it weren’t for The Ferguson Center and CNU, along with Bruce Bronstein and Douglas Carpenter, who orchestrated this whole program. I can’t thank you all enough To my castmates, the familyhood, I’ll treasure the experiences and silly memories we made together. There’s nobody I’d rather have spent my July with!

⭐️New Musicals Lab 2026⭐️ This past month, I was honored to be a company member for The New Musicals Lab with the Ferguson Center for the Arts. We workshopped brand new musicals, performed our own improvised musical with Shitzprobe (@shitzprobe) held a New Musicals cabaret, and wrote our own children’s musical “A Day at the Bay”. A big thank you to the Ferguson Center and Christopher Newport University for making this possible, as well as Douglas Carpenter and Bruce Bronstien. I am grateful for all of the fun memories, but also all the ways I was able to grow as an artist over this month! I loved every second of working with this amazing company, and could not have asked for a better way to spend my summer. I will miss our little “familyhood”! Shitzprobe 🍄🧚 @shitzprobe Ali Reed, Kikki Mikkelsin, and Adrien Pellerin Jennys Damned Ex 🧛🩸 Music and Lyrics by Tommy Newman Music Directed by Mark Hartman Captains Cabaret 🎭⭐️ Directed by Douglas Carpenter “I Couldn’t Know Someone Less” from Daddy Long Legs A Day at the Bay 🏖️🦞🧜🏻‍♀️ Written and conceived by the NML TYA 2026 cast: Annalise, Imani, Emma, Ben, Brady, Matthew, and Ella

New Musicals Lab Ferguson Center for the Arts Summer 2026 Week 1: Shitzprobe This past July, I had the incredible opportunity to join the performing company of the New Musicals Lab at the Ferguson Center for the Arts. Over the course of the month, we collaborated with several creative teams and industry professionals, workshopping and exploring the process of developing new musical theatre. During our first week, we participated in a workshop/ masterclass with Ali Reed, Kiki Mikkelsen, and Adrien Pellerin—the brilliant team behind the improvised musical group Shitzprobe. The experience culminated in us creating and performing our own fully improvised 30-minute musical, “Two Left Feet”, for a sold-out audience! My deepest gratitude to Bruce Bronstein, Doug Carpenter (@dougcarpentervoice), the Ferguson Center for the Arts (@fergusoncenterforthearts), and the entire Shitzprobe (@shitzprobe) team for making this opportunity possible. It was an exciting, freeing, and transformative experience that I would love to continue exploring as an art form! 🎹 Musicians: Adrien Pellerin (Piano) & Cadence Roberts (Drums)

NML 2026 🩷 I can’t say enough how thankful I am that the New Musicals Lab exists. This program is such a wonderful opportunity to learn and bloom as an artist. I have had so much fun this past month, and have made countless new inside jokes to quote (moonshinuhs are everywhere, pah pah pah 🚬). An enormous shoutout to all of the creative teams I had the privilege of working with, and to Bruce Bronstein @fergusoncenterforthearts and @dougcarpentervoice, I am forever grateful for your support and the work you’ve done to bring back the labs. and of course to all my labbers I love you so much and I will miss being a door knock away from all of you 🥹

New Musical Lab’s week 1 with @shitzprobe !!! To think I grew so much in just one short week is hard to believe, but undeniably true. I just wanna go back and do it all over again and again because of how much fun I had! So incredibly grateful for Ali Reed, Kiki Mikkelsen, and Adrien Pellerin’s guidance and support for us ❤️❤️❤️I cannot express my appreciation enough for @adrienpellerin @alisreed and @kikimikkelsen for giving us a truly unforgettable and incredible week. Moreover, so much gratitude to @dougcarpentervoice and Bruce Bronstein for making it all happen and for their support of the company throughout all 4 weeks! Thank you to Adrien Pellerin and @cadencer.music for their amazing piano and drumming skills. As well as Vantony Jenkins and the Ferguson Center for the Art’s tech team. Photo Credits: Rafael Velez
