Friday Night Live presents William Shakespeare's Improv Musical at Lynn Valley United Church on Friday, Sept. 26 at 7:30 p.m as part of 2014 North Shore Culture Days.
If the Bard and Broadway had ever met, the result might have been something like William Shakespeare's Improv Musical - a mad marriage of comedy and songs made up on the spot.
Fresh off its run at Bard on the Beach, Shakespeare's Improv Musical will play for one performance at Lynn Valley United Church's Friday Night Live series. It takes place on September 26th, as part of BC Culture Days.
"It's a great way to kick off Friday Night
Live's latest season," says Alan Marriott, who does double duty as improv performer and Friday Night Live Artistic Director. "Shakespeare's Improv Musical did very well at Bard on the Beach and we're thrilled to bring it to the North Shore."
For audiences, the entertainment is found not only in the witty lines and Shakespearean references but also in the breathtaking daring it takes to come up with ad lib songs -complete with Bard-inspired lyrics, piano accompaniment and sometimes even a few dance moves for good measure.
"As a performer, it's the ultimate highwire act," says Marriott.
All ages are welcome to William Shakespeare's Improv Musical, 7:30 p.m. on September 26th at Lynn Valley United Church. fnlnorthvan.com.
