Dinosaur Improv: DCM '26

What do you get when you put a truth-deficient small-group leader, an atheist, an in-the-closet Christian, and a Bible thumping improv troupe called Comic Evangelists together in a van? This Christian improv troupe wants to spread the Lord's word at a big city Improv Festival. But as they prepare for their big performance they get closer and closer to collapsing under their own secrets and lies.
