The End

There's been some buzz, and yes, it's true. The Hypothetical 7 is having it's very last show on the 14th. Some of you will probably stop reading at this point (Ugh......another improv entry) which is fine, go right ahead, this ain't for you. Still with me? Welcome! Yes, Hype 7 is going bye bye. It's been swell, but the old adage is true: All good things must come to an end. The current troupe, as it stands, feels as though the direction we are taking the troupe is not true to the original H7 brand. We are different now, it happens after a decade and a half, and we want to explore new territory. As we experimented with different forms and styles, we began to feel unfaithful to the founding member's vision of the troupe. The short form got longer, the videos increasingly less inspired, and the sketches nonexistant. Could we have continued in our new direction under the old name? Maybe. But people have come to expect a certain style from the troupe that we find ourselves offering less and less. Therefore, it is with much deliberation and heavy hearts that we shed our old selves and look to the future. What future, you may ask? We'll keep you posted.
