The Portable Reality Show’s Second Act
The Jewel Box Theatre’s
revamped improvisational comedy troupe had a terrific inaugural 2006/2007
season. This next go-round promises even more laughter and surprises.
And good works, too, as the group teams up with local charities for a
different theme each show.
For 2009 the
troupe continues with a shows at 7:30 pm on May 2 & July 11.
Tickets may now be pre-purchased. To reserve seats: www.brownpapertickets.com
Improv theater is storytelling, or better said, playwriting on the spot.
It has been said that acting in improv is like being an acrobat balancing
on a high wire. Improvisers take suggestions for characters and situations
from the audience and launch themselves into a story without the benefit
of a safety net in the form of a script. Sometimes they succeed gloriously,
often they fail ignominiously — but the results are always hilarious.
Whether you are a fan of improv
comedy or haven’t yet sampled the fun, come watch these undaunted
aerialists of “The Portable Reality Show” try their wings.
The troupe recently added four new members who will make their stage debut
during the upcoming season.
All shows are at 7:30 p.m. on Saturdays
(except the Valentine’s Day show) at the Jewel Box Theatre, 225
Iverson St. in Poulsbo. Tickets available at the door cost $10. The cost
is $8 for seniors, students and active duty military personnel and their
dependents. To sign up for e-mail notification or for more information,
