ABOUT:
Over a period of eight, virtual, 90-minute rehearsals, the group will learn a variety of improv games, culminating in two live, virtual performances in the Keybank Rochester Fringe Festival. Teens will explore the basic elements of comedy improv such as building relationships, character development, listening and agreeing, within the framework of short-form improv, in the style of the popular TV show “Whose Line is it Anyway.” Oh yeah, and they’re going to have a ton of FUN!
We are searching for performers in Grades 8 – 12 who are up for this unique challenge -- serious performers willing to work as part of a team to share their talents, refine their skills, and create a high-quality, virtual show Performers of all ethnic and racial backgrounds are encouraged to attend.
