Leap Into Spring With The EDGE Improv

Leap into spring with The EDGE Improv on March 3, and dive into a world of imagination on demand. Troupe member Cynthia Lair says, "Only onstage with The EDGE is there an amusement park where you pay to sit in a hole, an elevator full of people taking a shower, and an exotic-dancing car repair shop. All totally believable."

You won't want to miss The EDGE Improv's March performance at BPA, where the troupe's riotous antics have inspired rave reviews from shrewd onlookers since the beginning of time. For more than two laughter-filled decades, The EDGE Improv has delivered ingeniously improvised first-Saturday evenings of on-the-spot comedy, all from audience suggestions. The troupe performs to sell-out crowds regularly at BPA where the troupe's gambols and shenanigans have earned a devoted community of followers seeking respite from life's wearisome routines and worries.

The EDGE troupe members include Ken Ballenger, John Ellis, Todd Erler, Cynthia Lair, Susan MacPherson, Bhama Roget, Andrew Shields, Chris Soldevilla, and Matty Whitman. Visit The EDGE at www.theedgeimprov.com and www.bainbridgeperformingarts.org.
