Vivid Stage, in residence at Oakes Center at 120 Morris Avenue in Summit, is opening its season with an improv comedy performance by its house team, The Flip Side. Appearing at the Madison Community Arts Center every other month throughout the year, The Flip Side will perform on September 5 at 8:00 pm.
THE FLIP SIDE features Brad Barton, Clark Carmichael, Laura Ekstrand, Noreen Farley, Lulu French, Dave Maulbeck, Scott McGowan, Abby Sher and Emaline Williams. This unpredictable evening is an affordable, enjoyable evening that is packed with laughs from start to finish.
Based on improv techniques created by The Groundlings, Upright Citizens' Brigade and The Magnet, The Flip Side offers a unique spin on short-form improv, taking audience input to create instant scenes that are both unexpected and hilarious. No two shows are alike, and the most important ingredient in every show is the audience.
The show includes improvisational comedy sketches that use audience suggestions to shape the scenes that the actors instantly create onstage. Performers use ingredients such as everyday objects, strange maladies, and unusual circumstances to cook up unconventional mini-plays that appear and disappear in a matter of minutes.
