urgency


It's time to confer in your tropical bunkers and activate contingency plans: Bandolero's show "The Letter" has set a closing date. That's right, although the real-life never-read post-breakup letter that we read from to start our improvised show has 144 handwritten pages, we're only going to spend 5 (that's five (FIVE)) more shows exploring it.

And to be perfectly clear - after those five weeks, Bandolero's going on break for a little while, so this is your last chance to see us at the Pit until sometime later this year.

The bad news is: no shows in May. The good news is: shows every Tuesday in April with Bandolero and the superlative Threat performing their show "Fool's Journey".

So gas up the dune buggy, put the chopper in stealth mode, and tuck your leather holster undee your hawaiian shirt. Time's a-wastin.

Tuesdays, 9:30 pm, $5

Milkmaid



Damn, even milkmaids get letters. Or nuns, or whatever she is. Dutchwomen.*

The good news is, if you or any milkmaids you know bring in a letter you've received, BANDOLERO will read from it onstage and make up a show inspired by it in THE LETTER, our show about correspondence.

On nights when there are no audience submissions, we'll use our backup material -- a 144-page post-breakup letter received in real life by one of our members several years ago.

This Tuesday night, 9:30, at the Peoples Improv Theater in Chelsea. Just $5, or $4.99 with a pint of cream.



Bandolero is name name name name name & name.

If you no longer wish to so on and so forth.

hugs from venom


BANDOLERO proudly presents: THE LETTER. We read from a 144-page post-breakup letter, and learn that from this document conceived in pain, we can actually draw quite a bit of fun.

If you've got something you'd like us to read and use onstage, bring it in.

Tuesday nights, 9:30 at the PIT, $5.

Followed by THREAT performing "Fool's Journey", which launches from a live Tarot reading into an improv set that will blow your circuits.


Bandolero is him and her and you and me and hiim and him and her.

gather round, family


time together

BANDOLERO invites you to pick a page from a real 144-page post-breakup letter for us to read to you. We'll use it to inspire our improvised show. Last week we found a colored-pencil drawing of some puzzle pieces; the week before it was a page from a term paper about feminism.

If you or a friend has a juicy piece of correspondence, bring it in, and we'll read that too!

It's all part of our show THE LETTER, and it's this and every Tuesday night at 9:30 at the Peoples Improv Theater. Tickets are just $5 to see us and THREAT, who are performing their new show "Fool's Journey", which begins with a live one-card Tarot reading for an audience volunteer.

Reading over our shoulders is encouraged.
