FARMINGTON – On the heels of an evening with Bob Marley, Mt. Blue High School hosts its very own Curtain Raisers Improv Comedy Troupe for a one-night-only stand of unpredictable, unequivocal hilarity on Friday, April 16, at 7:30 p.m. in the Mt. Blue High School Auditorium.
Building upon the suggestions of their audience, the Curtain Raisers deliver comedic skits, scenes, songs and storylines invented via their own imaginations and frenetic energy. Classic games such as “Late to Work” and “Phrases” hit on the Whose Line Is It, Anyway? tradition while original structures like “Opera in a Bucket” showcase the unique talents and creativity of Curtain Raisers. The only way to truly understand it is to see it . And while it may be difficult to explain, it is easy to enjoy and even easier to get involved.
The proceeds from this show go directly to Curtain Raisers efforts to return to ImprovBoston, a professional improv theater located in Cambridge, Massachusetts’ Central Square. It has become a tradition for the group to rise the morning after prom, climb aboard a bus, and travel down for a workshop and performance in a professional theater before a paying audience. This year’s group including Alex Allen, Anthea Fletcher, Jessica Baxter, Morgan Spencer, Kelton Cullenberg, John Evans, Laurel Fraley, Cat Goding, Colton Hall, Josh Hiltz, Hannah Senecal and Andreas Wyder, intend to maintain this tradition. And this show will go a long ways toward achieving that goal.
The MBHS Curtain Raisers’ springloaded show runs for one evening only, Friday, April 16, at 7:30 p.m. in the Mt. Blue High School Auditorium. Admission is only $3. For more information contact Mt. Blue Curtain Raisers Comedy Troupe Artistic Director, Dan Ryder, at dryder@msad9.org or (207) 778-03561.
