Andrew Bradford Benson, Seth Kaltwasser, Eric Peltz, Isaac Bont, Casey Schneider After a successful run last summer, Festival Theatre is bringing back an entire summer of Friday night Improv Comedy to the schedule. This year, 13 company members make up the rotating cast of Sew Good Improv. Shows take place each Friday night, beginning June 26th at 9:00 pm following Music on the Overlook.
“Improvisational theatre is one of the best creative explorations for actors and great fun for audiences,” says Jaclyn Johnson, Artistic Director, who has trained at the Brave New Workshop in Minneapolis and was a member of several Improv Troupe’s before coming to Festival Theatre. “There are no rules for the worlds and people you can create in an instant, and no limit to the places you can go and the things you can do. There are so many times in our lives when we have to deal with 'no' and improv is a world of “Yes, and..." She explained, "even the audience is asked to participate! While we stretch our character development, focus, wit and timing, audiences inspire the scenes with suggestions and liven the night with their laughs. Nothing is better than an audience that is ready to have a great time.”
Tickets for Sew Good Improv are $5.00 and can be purchased at the door or in advance at festivaltheatre.org, by calling the box office at 715-483-3387 or emailing festivaltheatreboxoffice@gmail.com. Seating is limited with shows taking place in the street level Elbow Room.
