MIA JACKSON
Mia Jackson is a bonafide Georgia peach (that's Georgian for "native").

She has toured nationally with Amy Schumer and is a featured comic at festivals and clubs across the country. Her first stand up special aired in October 2018 as part of Unprotected Sets on EPIX.

Her Comedy Central half hour special debuted in November 2019.
WHOLE WORLD BLOCKBUSTER SUMMER
In a world where the dinosaurs make you cackle instead of run; where the girls are mean but also funny; and where the aliens comedically conquer the WHOLE WORLD - actors will parody a different movie each and every weekend. All. Summer. Long.
Join Whole World Theatre on Saturdays at 10pm throughout June & July for WHOLE WORLD BLOCKBUSTER SUMMER.
MOM & DAD IMPROV
The father, Hannah; strong and capable, will play catch with you and then explain how your body is changing. The mother, Ana; passionate, fierce, will talk you through a panic attack and rub your back. They embrace improv like you would a newborn child, because that's what it is; a delicate, curious new life being born on the stage each and every night. Sure, there will be spankings, but not without good reason. Whether you're a new parent, an old parent, or big fat baby-hating asshole, there's something for all in their narrative format. You'll laugh, you'll cry, and you'll definitely learn something.
