EARLY STAGES @ 11am
improvised Theatre for Young Audiences,
and the Young at Heart
If they can get their act together, EARLY STAGES will get their show on the road. But this very unlikely to happen, because this travelling band of players are getting nowhere fast – and it would appear that they’ve encountered an audience! Oh dear. It's all just a wee bit slapdash, really…
Suitable for ages 3-6 years,
and recommended for children of all ages (yourself included!)
IN ESSENCE @ 2pm
improvised Theatre
(in Short Plays)
They say the devil’s in the details, so you can keep those to yourself. We seek to capture the essence of you, and your companions, in a word - inspiring truthful relationships, meaningful stories, and memorable (albeit fleeting) moments of theatre.
Open your heart to sharing the bare minimum, and open your mind to exploring the essence of us, in depth, in improvised Short Plays.
THEATRESPORTS™ @ 7pm
competitively improvised
Theatre, Comedy & Music
Two teams of improvisers are pitched against each other in a cut-throat, no- holds-barred show-down for audience votes. This high-action short form improv show is overseen by a referee, who has the power to penalize or reward teams as he/she sees fit – but, ultimately, our audiences decide the winners and losers based on the quality of scenes, the sharpness of wit.
Happy THEATRESPORTS™! And may the audience be ever in your favour.
THE DIRTY LITTLE SECRETS IMPROV SHOW @ 10pm
an improvised Late Show
Keep ‘er lit, keep schtum, and meet us after hours with your deepest, darkest and deadliest. We’re calling on your best-kept secrets and worst confessions to inspire our late night laughs.
(Don’t sweat it, though! All ‘T’ is spilled anonymously, in writing, and all shade is thrown from the shadows. So, divulge!)
