Imagined Reality Improv returns to OTA
Experience improvisational comedy from the cast of Imagined Reality Improv at 7 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 13, at Olympic Theatre Arts, 414 N. Sequim Ave.
Tickets are $10 and are available at the theatre box office from 1- 4 p.m., Tuesday-Friday, or online at OlympicTheatreArts.org.
Since 2016, Imagined Reality Improv has been entertaining audiences throughout the Olympic Peninsula. While the four women and three men share a love of improv, they come from varied walks of life: a scientist, two lawyers, a classical musician, an HR guru, a marketing expert and a teen student, each bringing something different to the performances.
A typical Imagined Reality Improv show consists of a variety of short-form “games” or scenes, much like the “Whose Line Is It Anyway?” television show. What makes the scenes special is that there are no scripts and everything is made up on-the-spot from audience suggestions, leading to unexpected and often hilarious results.
While all ages are welcome, organizers say show content is typically rated around PG-13.
For further information, call the theatre at 360-683-7326.
