Performance Concept

* This event requires actors to work within the structure of the script, yet also improv as the audience interacts. 

* Acting requires high energy because the actors will continually move in the space, performing short vignettes.

* On-stage most of the 2 hour time frame; engage audience participation so don’t be shy.

* Actors must clearly know what can and can not be communicated, even with little rehearsal.
