Comedy show, car show and dog festival highlight local activities

Kick off the weekend on Friday with a comedy show in Biddeford or a car show in Old Orchard Beach and celebrate your four-legged friends Saturday at Bark in the Park in Saco.

Scriptless in Seattle

Friday night, Scriptless in Seattle: A Night of Unscripted Comedy, comes to City Theater in Biddeford at 7:30 p.m.

Scriptless in Seattle tours the country making the show up by the seats of their pants. Enjoy a show that has yet to be written and gives you the chance to steer its direction! With opportunities to come up on stage and be a part of the show, the script is you.

With a style reminiscent of the beloved show Whose Line Is It Anyway, they offer a unique blend of hilarious sketches, improvised musicals, game shows, film noir, and so much more. No two shows are ever the same, ensuring an evening filled with surprises, laughter, and memorable moments.

For tickets, go to the City Theater website or call the box office at 207-282-0849
