Friends, Arkansans,
Rain-soaked Countrymen,
If you haven’t gotten to
the Public Theatre to see any of Season III of ImprovLittleRock, what are you
waiting for? This May weekend of shows will be our second to last
of the season, so now is the time to come get a taste of the only improv comedy
troupe in our region.
On Friday May
2nd at 10pm,
ImprovLittleRock brings you The
Comedy Throwdown. Two teams are pitted against one another in a head to
head showdown of scenes, games, and songs—all improvised on the spot—from your
audience suggestions. An impartial judge scores the scenes, and
the team with the best score at the end of the night is touted as
champion. Whether you’re brought on stage, or your suggestions are
being shouted out to the improvisers, your participation fuels the comedy fire
that makes this unscripted evening short-form improv comedy fresh,
energetic, hilarious, and charming.
At 10pm on Saturday May
3rd, ILR breaks out the long-form stick
with Harold
Night.
Many talk about it...some
perform it...few can execute it...it’s long form improvisation made famous by
the father of the Harold, Del Close of the Second City. We
take a suggestion from the audience, than for the next 70 minutes, bob, weave,
re-incorporate, riff, and act out scene after scene utilizing narratives,
scenes, characters, and plotlines all based on said audience suggestion.
This is fast-paced, dangerous, and exciting—a show of epic proportions,
and one not to be missed for sure.
All shows take place at the
Public Theatre, 616 Center Street, Downtown Little
Rock. Admission is $7 at the door. Call
374-PLAY. Don’t miss the second to last weekend of improv comedy
in your town—ImprovLittleRock!
Also, the next episode of the ImprovLittleRock
Workshops will take place on Saturday
May 3rd. Note the new time--11am to 2pm. This workshop is the
third in our series of open play workshops with members of ILR. No experience
is required. This next episode will focus on character and the foundation for
good scenework. Cost is $20. Please let me know if you can make it so I know
how many to plan for.
