Lake Park Mirror Ballroom to Present a Night of Improv with the BRIFT Players, 7/20

On Saturday, July 20th, at 7:30 p.m. the Lake Park Mirror Ballroom will host a fun, family night of improvisation presented by the hilarious BRIFT Improv players. The evening's offering will be unique in that it brings together both adult and young actors performing side by side in an unscripted and always unexpected two hours of laughs and guffaws.

Under the direction of master improvisational artist Todd Vittum, budding and experienced comedians ranging in age from eight to 80 will have the audience rolling in the aisles. The show comes with only one warning: "Laughing is mandatory!"

Vittum has been teaching improv for many years and is himself an experienced performer. He has designed innovative scenarios that make the imagination come alive and his "no scripts - no rules" approach to training is guaranteed to bring a look of surprise and pleasure to the faces of ticket holders. The spontaneity of response -- especially when children are involved -- is the stuff of legend.

In an interview about his training techniques, Vittum said, "Most people think improv is only about being funny. It isn't. However with my troupes, the humor comes from the honesty of the scene and funny just happens!"

The good times start and 7:30 p.m. and don't end until the laughter dies away.

Tickets are $20.00 -- $15.00 if you bring a prop for the actors to use in their skits. Reservations can be made by calling The Institute Laff Line at 561 743-9955. Seating is limited and tickets sell out quickly.
