O say can you laugh! This special edition of Study hall will feature short lectures from the history of American politics. After each lecture, our cast of some of Philly’s best improvisers will use what they learned (or didn't learn) to spin each lecture into hilarious scenes right before your eyes. Come learn and laugh with us and be home by dawn’s early light! Whether you were the class president or the class clown, you will love Study Hall. Don’t be tardy!

Study Hall has been using lectures and laughs to entertain audiences across the United  States for over a decade. The Franklin Institute, the Academy of Natural Sciences, Drexel University, Arizona State University, The Museum of the American Revolution, Chicago's Second City, and The Philadelphia Museum of Art are only a few of the many places Study Hall has performed in addition to our regular Philly shows. Here’s a write-up on our show in 2020 from Perspectives On History. If you are interested in a special performance at your school, business, or organization, let us know! Email [email protected].
