Starship Galaxy - A Delightful Escapade

Improvisational adventures, anyone?

“A brand new adventure every time!” announces Brent Hirose as he sends us off after a very entertaining hour of Sci-Fi improv brought to you by Vancouver’s Instant Theatre.

It’s 2073 and we join Starship Galaxy as they float around the Universe…well…having adventures!

Join Starship Galaxy and watch the escapade unfold right before your very eyes with only one suggestion from the audience.  This night “Peanut Butter” led to hilarity involving peanut butter and shellfish (allergies anyone?) and Smuckers 6, a planet entirely inhabited by berries led by none other than…who else but…King Berry!

Director Alistair Cook has assembled a relatively large group as improv troupes go and yet has achieved a fairly cohesive whole.  Background sound was deftly supplied by Leif Ingerbrigtsen, a former member of Winnipeg improv troupe Outside Joke, and especially notable performances were given by Brent Hirose, Andrew Chen and a simply hilarious Lauren McGibbon.  Other than a few ums and ahs from the less veteran improvisers on the team this delightful show was smooth and funny.
