Dive Into the Dog Days of Summer with The EDGE Improv at BPA
Dive into the dog days of summer with The EDGE Improv on July 1 as the troupe delivers an ingeniously improvised evening of on-the-spot comedy, all from audience suggestions. For more than two decades, the troupe's riotous antics have inspired rave reviews from people from all walks of life.
According to troupe member Ken Ballenger "The EDGE is like therapy, but cheaper." Terence Wheer, author, actor and all-around good fellow, quips, "If you're up for some surprises then The EDGE is your cup of tea. Or coffee. Or bottled spring water."
The troupe performs at BPA on the first Saturday of each month, and their capers have earned a devoted community of followers. Performers include Ken Ballenger, Frank Buxton, John Ellis, Cynthia Lair, Susan MacPherson, Bhama Roget, Andrew Shields, Chris Soldevilla, Matty Whitman, and Todd Erler.
