The Improv Playhouse of San Francisco is the Bay area's hottest new touring improv ensemble, making their Santa Cruz debut with two completely different shows on November 15 and 16. Come to one or both!
The ensemble improvisers are Rafe Chase, Ben Johnson, Tim Orr, Lisa Rowland and Regina Saisi.
Friday, November 15th
The Naked Stage
The action takes place on a single set, in traditional stage-play style. The improvisers play one character each, and there are no built-in transitions or scene breaks. All the actors have is the bare stage, simple suggestions from the audience, and each other.
Saturday, November 16th
Improvised Shakespeare
Shakespeare's plays take place in a tumultuous world full of unrequited love,treachery, passion, war, mistaken identities, political intrigue and, sometimes,magic.
In our shows, we inhabit that world and play characters who go through similar adventures. We don't know in advance if the show will be a romantic comedy or a tragedy, or some of both. But we do know that it will be completely improvised.
Some tickets available at the door but don't wait - this will be a sellout!
