By: Harmony Wheeler Feb. 21, 2012
Quick Changes Productions presents the world premiere of IMPROVed, a new comedy by Genevieve Adams in which the rules of improvisation are challenged and exploited, with performances set for February 23-26 at Gene Frankel Theatre (24 Bond Street) in Manhattan. Jon Goracy directs.
The five-character, two-act ensemble comedy, IMPROVed, asks if the rules of improv comedy as outlined by the legendary Del Close – "always say yes." "make your partner look good," "find the conflict in the scene" – can be applied to life. The cast of IMPROVed includes Genevieve Adams, David Henry Gerson, Anthony Laflamme, Juliette Monaco, and Andrew Smith. IMPROVed runs February 23-26 at Gene Frankel Theatre (24 Bond Street): Thursday-Saturday at 8pm, and Sunday at 2pm. Tickets are $20; $10 students. For reservations, email quickchanges212@gmail.com or call 917-822-0105.
