Shake Off the Winter Doldrums with The EDGE Improv Tonight at BPA

Bainbridge Performing Arts (BPA) presents The Edge Improv tonight, February 1 at 7:30 p.m.

Shake off the winter doldrums with an evening of laughs February 1st as The Edge presents an ingeniously improvised evening of on-the-spot comedy, all from audience suggestions. For nearly two decades, the troupe's riotous antics have inspired rave reviews from audience members and earned entertaining commentary from the troupe members themselves. Troupe member Andrew Shields quips, "My experience improvising with The Edge helps me, as a medical doctor, make stuff up as I go along."

The troupe has earned a devoted following and performs to sell-out crowds regularly at BPA. Members include Ken Ballenger, Frank Buxton, John Ellis, Cynthia Lair, Susan MacPherson, Bhama Roget, Andrew Shields, Chris Soldevilla, and Matty Whitman.
