HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT ABOUT » April 2026 »
Written and performed by Michael Oluokun
Directed by Andrew Scoville
A mad scientist named Michael presents a workshop on "thinking about", a technique for untethering yourself from linear thought and expanding your mind's ideation possibilities. Using notebooks and a whiteboard as a guide, Michael and the audience become co-conspirators in the creation of comedic chaos. Through a series of jokes, crowd games, monologues and a real “thought experiment”, Michael leads the audience down a winding road of absurdist and associative thought that leads us back to what really matters: our connection to ourselves and the people around us.
