Sketch Comedy returns to Ten Fifteen this Summer
It’s the 25th anniversary of the original Simple Salmon of the River Theater days, and this year’s edition will not disappoint. An open call for writers produced over 50 submissions, of which 12 will be featured in this year’s show. In a callback to the Simple Salmon days of yore, audience members will be given the opportunity to vote for their favorite sketch. Winners will be announced at the end of the August 10th performance, and cash prizes in the amounts of $500, $300, and $200 will be awarded to the writers of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners, respectively.
About the Show: Saturday Night Live meets Astoria! The sketchiest of original sketch comedy returns for the 25th anniversary of the original Simple Salmon from the River Theatre.
