Sandy Velazquez of English 1B told me about a special program at the The Pasadena Playhouse that is worth attending. The Impro Theatre, I learned, is an improv group that puts on full-fledged plays, sometimes inspired by the classics, soemtimes by pop culture. The Impro Theatre is currently staging productions at The Playhouse's Carrie Hamilton Theatre. Here's the latest news from the Impro:
"IMPRO THEATRE lies somewhere between the Royal Shakespeare Company and 'Whose Line Is It Anyway.' Starting on October 7, 2011, Impro Theatre will present three productions in repertory at The Carrie Hamilton Theatre: "Tennessee Williams UnScripted," "Chekhov UnScripted," and "Twilight Zone UnScripted" - just in time for Halloween! The company consists of classically trained actors who are also masters of improvisation. . . . True narrative daredevils, Impro Theatre is bent on writing and performing in the moment to create a unique theatrical experience."
