Shenanigans- R.B.'s Improv Troupe

After a sold-out and highly successful premiere performance, "It Tastes Like Paint", Shenanigans held an audition on Friday to add one or two new members for their second show scheduled for May. The auditions consisted of improvisation games such as: 3-line scene, revolving door, freeze improv, and a story game. The current troupe (listed below) and Ms. Briskman (me), the troupe's sponsor and director judged the auditions. There was an extremely impressive and talented turn out for the auditions. On Monday, we will post the new troupe member or members outside of the forum room. It was a very tough decision, due to so much talent and the many different performance styles and senses of humor of those auditioning. We attempted to choose a talented improviser (or two) and someone that would be a good fit in the current group, and add something new and fresh. WE WILL BE HOLDING ANOTHER SHENANIGANS AUDITION IN JUNE. I really hope that all those that auditioned and were not given spots in the troupe now, will audition then. We will be accepting more members at the end of the year, and WE NEED YOUR TALENT. My advice in order to improve your skills is to attend Improv Club every Wednesday after school. We will be starting up as soon as the Musical is over. I also recommend taking class, seeing improv performances, seeing other fine arts performances, reading, and staying abreast of current events. Thank you so much to all that auditioned.
Sincerely-Ms. Briskman
