Impro Theatre's PLEDGE DRIVE UNSCRIPTED Is July 6-7
The award-winning Impro Theatre presents their third annual Pledge Drive UnScripted benefit event, which includes a crowdfunding campaign, a silent auction - and a 30-hour non-stop marathon showcasing their signature improvisation. The event takes place in the intimate Impro Studio in the heart of Los Feliz Village from July 6-7, 2018. Pledge Drive UnScripted features dozens of performers, and proceeds benefit Impro Theatre's operations which include the celebrated Impro Theatre School and the flourishing Impro Studio.
Pledge Drive UnScripted centers around 30 non-stop hours of improvised shows, performed live in the Impro Studio and broadcast live on Facebook. Performances include the Impro Theatre Main Company's acclaimed Twilight Zone UnScripted and Fairytales UnScripted alongside more than 30 other shows produced by the Impro Theatre School and improv community. All performances are Pay-What-You-Can, except for the Main Company's Showcase Performance of Jane Austen Pop, a completely improvised musical in the style of Jane Austen, which has $50 VIP tickets and includes complimentary champagne.
Dan O'Connor, Impro's Producing Artistic Director, said, "Pledge Drive UnScripted has become a very exciting annual tradition for us, and the massive 30-hour improv marathon brings together our entire community. The event continues to provide essential support for many of our programs like the Ellen Idelson Diversity Scholarship, the ongoing development of new work, and it has allowed us to bolster our operations in important ways by expanding our staff and School."
Pledge Drive UnScripted's crowdfunding campaign and silent auction both feature exclusive items including tickets to special events and one-of-a-kind experiences. Impro Theatre is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, and donations are tax-deductible to the fullest extent of the law.
About Impro Theatre
Impro Theatre has garnered national attention with their unique, acclaimed brand of theatre and sold-out shows. They create entirely improvised, full-length plays in various styles. Every show is completely different, and each performance is seen only by the audience in the theatre on that night, making every Impro show a truly unique theatrical experience. In Los Angeles, Impro Theatre is currently in residence at The Broad Stage, producing 9 different Signature Productions throughout the season. They have performed locally at South Coast Repertory, the John Anson Ford Amphitheatre, The Falcon Theatre in Burbank, North Coast Repertory, Lewis Family Playhouse, The Carrie Hamilton Theatre at The Pasadena Playhouse, and many more. Impro Theatre has also headlined comedy events around the country, performed at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival, Athenaeum Theatre in Chicago, Texas State University, Sarasota Improv Festival, and dozens more, and recently performed internationally in Dubai and Oslo, Norway.
Los Angeles Times writes, "Impro Theatre has evolved into a powerhouse improvisational company in full-length shows that are off-the-cuff and consistently hilarious. An indigenous Los Angeles treasure, the company should be seen - and reseen!" American Theatre magazine said, "These virtuosic talents simply are as superhuman as they seem. These serious professional actors, classically trained, can write on their feet better than many writers can type at a desk. Impro's work has taught me to demand more from the theatre." Impro's shows have been consistently honored with "Ovation Recommended" and "Critic's Picks," and they were named by LAist as one of the 12 Best Theatre Companies in Los Angeles.
Pledge Drive UnScripted starts on July 6, and the 30-hour improv marathon continues through July 7, 2018. Most shows are Pay-What-You-Can. Full schedule is at www.ImproTheatre.com.
