I thought you said you were an improvisational troupe. Whats improv about written scripts?
The improvisation comes from “performing” the play directly on book for an audience, without rehearsal. On the fly, in real time, we add all the stuff that’s not in the text: costumes and props, stage business, blocking, physical comedy, dynamic repetition, singing, and of course, delivery! During a street tour, we also trade parts as we go, so that during the course of an evening, most players will have done at least 3 different roles. And of course, it’s dark at midwinter, so on a street tour, there’s plenty of improv when you drop your flashlight.
