Barter Theatre to Resume Late Night Improv Performances
For one weekend only, audiences will have the chance to find out what happens when actors perform without a script. Improv, or improvisational theatre, is a style of performance that does not employ a script or other written plan for the show. During improv shows, most of the material audiences see is made up on the spot. This means no two shows will ever be the same.
The Barter Players Encore Company will also include some sketch comedy in their performances. These parts of the performance are designed to be similar to the popular television show "Saturday Night Live."
Tickets for Late Night Improv can be purchased for $10 through the Barter Theatre box office, but are recommended for adults only.
Last spring, The Barter Players Encore Company gave six Late Night Improv performances to sold-out crowds. Terrance Jackson, who appeared in last year's performances, said, "I'm really looking forward to doing the improv shows again because you never know what is going to happen, but it will be fun and that's guaranteed. I hope people come ready to laugh."
Natalie Riegel, who is also a returning member of The Barter Players Encore Company, said, "Last year improv brought out a whole new crop of people to Barter and they were there to have a great time. Our goal is to go out on stage, take some risks, and have a good time. It's thrilling!"
The Barter Players Encore Company includes: Sean Michael Flattery, Terrance Jackson, Sam McCalla, Natalie Riegel, Julie Scroll and Kelly Strand.
