Standing Room Only!


On May 31st, and June 7th, 5-6-7-8 brought their high-energy improv style to Artomatic, a month-long multimedia arts event that draws together visual artists, musicians and performers and brings their work to the community without charge. Both nights, the 35 seats at the dance/theater stage were full, and the spill-over crowd took seats on the floor and stood in the back!

The show "Game Day Decision" featured short-form performance games and longform scenework based on audience suggestions, and wrapped up both nights with a preview of their next show InstaPlay, which will premiere at Capital Fringe Fest this July.

Local photographer Nikolas Coukouma was in the audience on June 7, and graciously shared his photos of our set. THANKS, Nikolas!

NEXT UP FOR 5678: InstaPlay @ Fringe Fest. Tickets on sale June 23rd.

David on stage at the Lincoln Theater


See David at the Lincoln Theater on June 13 & 14 In Soaring High Productions' "A Change Is Gonna Come"

"A Change Is Gonna" Come uncovers the “secret” of domestic and mental abuse in the least likely place…the pulpit of a church. Pastor Sills is a well-educated, well-liked preacher who has it all…a thriving congregation, a beautiful wife, and he is rich. This is an eye-opening play that will leave its viewers “painstakingly” aware of the affects of abuse in the church. You will experience a Christian woman’s struggle to display the attributes of a perfect “first lady” on the outside, while her self-worth and dignity is dying inside.
