WILLIAMSVILLE-The Rock River Players (RRP) offer "A Night of Improv" Friday and Saturday, Oct. 11 and 12, at 7 p.m. and Sunday, Oct. 13, at 2 p.m., at Williamsville Hall. Producer Peter Broussard invites audiences to "a night of laughter and spontaneity." Each show will be unlike any other, he promises, and he invites all to "experience the creative energy - and great unknowns- of unscripted acting."
"I've been doing improv since I was born," Broussard, an actor with and lighting director for the RRP, explained in a news release. "In a way, everyone has, but I was always known as an impromptu storyteller. When I was formally introduced to improv in 2014 by the summer theater camp hosted at Leland & Gray, I fell in love. Improv has become a passion and a way of life for me."
After joining the RRP, Broussard says, he dreamed of starting an improv team. "That dream came to life with the support of the RRP and the help of two people who taught me improv over the years: Annie Landenberger, who helped me organize and brainstorm ideas for this group, and Karlie Kauffeld, the person who introduced me to everything I know about improv. She'd come last January from Burlington to lead a second all-day improv workshop, a training that formed the initial RRP improv group."
Broussard will be joined by Rose Watson, John Moran, John Orgorzalek, Sue Kelly, Nick Morgan, Sean Fitzharris - and a surprise or two.
"We hope improv and comedy lovers will come see the culmination of a season of improv sessions with these players and others," urges Broussard.
General admission is $10, $7 for students and seniors, and$5 for children. Tickets can be purchased at the door (cash/check only) or in advance at rockriverplayers.org. The ADA compliant-Williamsville Hall is at 35 Dover Rd. in Williamsville.
