It’s the late 80s, crime is rampant, and only Detective Reynolds and Sergent Thompson can navigate neon-lit alleys to save the city in a RACE AGAINST TIME. “HOT PURSUIT” is a delightful buddy-cop-improv-comedy-two-hander-theatre-show. Each with about a decade of improv experience under their belts, Criss and Vinny will take the audience on a joy-ride through an unscripted police drama, hitting all the iconic beats: tough partners, Car chases, high-stakes investigations, and musical STINGS.
