WHAT JUST HAPPENED
Nina Wise’s What Just Happened is an improvisational performance based on personal and political events which have transpired over the previous twenty-four hours.
What Just Happened played at The Marsh Theater in San Francisco and Berkeley in 2009 and 2010, and was met with sold-out shows, standing ovations and great reviews. Since then she has performed at venues in New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Big Sur, Marin County and more. Audiences are consistently moved by the immediacy, humor and depth of the work.
