Post #1 was about Mahmoud Hakima as producer
Post #2 was about Mahmoud Hakima as storyteller.
And the last of this little trilogy of posts is about Mahmoud Hakima as an improviser.
This Fringe show is also the return of last year’s pre-Fringe Top 10 artist Jex Arzayus, this time unscripted rather than scripted.

I have seen a Soap Prov outing before, during the closing weeks of HUGE theater as a venue in Uptown (RIP)
The group also has a trailer of the concept for a sampling of the kind of thing they’re up to:
Mahmoud is part of the troupe in this go-round, along with Jex, Rachel Buhman, Alexis Camille, Wesley Erickson, Laura Hild, Ora Hues, Simone LeClaire, Danielle Lynch, and Robby Miller.
While I also enjoy the fun of soap opera seriously, it is also quite easy to lampoon, so the Soap Prov improvisers have a lot of fertile ground to till here. I’m curious to see what they’re up to this time, and whether we get a sprawling soap opera across all five performances, or a self-contained melodrama in each one. Either way, should be amusing.
