One ticket, two shows - our Festival Double Headers give you twice the improv and twice the awesome!
Part One: Little Big Lies
Gang of Happy
Every character's move in this short improvised play is driven by a secret – one you give us!
Each player knows only their own secret, letting it haunt/delight their every move, while being totally oblivious to the secret you gave the others. Watch these bold-but-grounded characters slowly get tangled up in the big and little lies they tell in service of their secrets. Will you root for them to untangle and win the day? Or cheer as they languish in a demise of their own making? Either way, it should be fun, and fascinating.
This is the debut performance of veteran players known collectively as Gang of Happy – Anna MacLean, Malcom Morrison, Mary Little, and Ben Zolno. Gang of Happy have worked in multiple genres and companies for ages. In this formation, we're leaning into the fundamentals – finding humour in high-energy, grounded, theatre-style scenes filled with genuine, hilariously-flawed characters, one step at a time.
Part Two: ¡Escándalo!
Tara McEntee & Matt Powell
Get ready to ride the rollercoaster that is a Spanish telenovela: big emotions, high energy, and melodrama! You’re invited to the live taping of the season finale of Preguntas del Corazón - of course, you’ve followed the show as dedicated fans and now you’re ready to watch the exciting climax. Who will live? Who will be in love? Who will have drinks thrown in their face?
Wellington improvisors Tara McEntee and Matt Powell (Scared Scriptless, PlayShop, Soap Factory) return with their winning format that headlined Late Night Knife Fight in February 2020. Whatever twists and turns the story takes, you’re in for a wild ride!
