An Evening Of Improv Comes To Jaffrey At The RST On November 27

The River Street Theatre's (RST) ongoing Monad Knock-Knock live stand-up comedy series turns to improv this month. On Monday, November 27 (7:30pm) the Jaffrey theatre will present an interactive evening of improvisational theatre. The program will be hosted by actor/director/producer, as well as founder of the Matchbook Players (and RST's own), Paige Johnson.

What is Improv? Improvisation, or improv, is a form of live theater in which the plot, characters and dialogue of a game, scene or story are made up in the moment. It is joyful fun and requires no memorization or theatrical training.

What happens in an Improv Workshop? A collection of games and exercises to help everyone say yes, and while the game is played: follow the rules; turn mistakes into gifts; & fail with style! The only rule in improv is to Have Fun! Sit back and watch or jump in and be a part of the comedy. Goups of friends, family members and or co-workers are invited to be part of this highly entertaining evening.

Tickets for Monad Knock-Knock are $10.00. Note, some material may be a of mature nature.

The River Street Theatre is sponsored by Grove Street Fiduciary, Coca-Cola, the Board of Trustees of the Park Theatre, Janet S. Grant, Betty Locke, Owen Houghton and the James F. & Fernande Kelly Charitable Trust.

The Park Theatre first opened in Jaffrey in 1922 and was the center of community life as a movie and vaudeville house for 54 years until it closed in 1976. Purchased by The Park Theatre, Inc. in 2006, it will be rebuilt as a state-of-the-art film and performing arts center, featuring two auditoriums seating 485, presenting movies, live theatre, including children's productions, concerts, and lectures as well as offering a place for business and community gatherings for the Monadnock Region and its 100,000 residents, school districts and dynamic artistic community. The new Park Theatre is scheduled to open in 2018.

The Park Theatre currently operates the River Street Theatre (RST), a small live entertainment and cinema venue, located adjacent to the construction site as an interim theatre until the new Park Theatre opens. Opened in January of 2017, the RST holds the title of "smallest theatre in New England."
