Due to last year's budget cuts, there will not be a spring play. However, Ms. Susan Kahn has assembled an Improv troop over the past month that will be doing a performance.Improv is acting without any premeditated ideas or lines. Improvisational games have always been a light hearted highlight of Ms. Kahn's Norwell theatre classes. One comparable example is the TV show, "Who's Line Is It Anyway?". Forms of this TV show thrive throughtout many other countries.
Initially, around 35 students tried out. Over the series of three Roundtable periods on Friday, Ms. Kahn was able to cut down the number of students significantly. Now, thirteen students remain.
At the start, the idea was to have a small group of students work on and improve in the art of improvisation each Friday during Roundtable. Ms. Kahn is now putting on an improv show in place of the cancelled spring play. Between now and the beginning of April, the students will practice and work on trust and the many, many rules that play into the art.
The performances will be on April 16 and 17. Times will be announced at a later date.
