Magical Lying Hour

An Actor. An Improvisor.  Each show features actors and improvisers. The actors have prepared scenes like they would for any other play they might do, and the improvisers, as always have no clue who they will be or what they will do. 

Without changing their lines, the actor must perform in the world as the improviser creates it, and the improviser must contend with new information as the actor presents it. The result is a funny and powerful new work neither would have come to on their own. 

Cast: Alexandra Garrett, Kelly Juneau, Jessica Kelly-Garrett, Ronnie McLaren, Cassandra Randall, Kaitlyn Zoeller

Ophelia’s Rope is a two-person long form improv group that takes its inspiration from you. That’s right, you.  A typical show is kicked off by Ophelia’s Rope asking its audience one or two random questions, proceeding to morph the answers into a setting, plot, and duo of unexpected, and sometimes quirky, characters. With no story predicted, no ending forecasted, Ophelia’s Rope wanders the worlds of imagination, coloring surprising scenes their audiences inspired.

Cast: Autumn Clack and Ruth McCleskey
