Ready Set Improv

Ready Set Improv

This play is unlike any other Berkshire has ever put on. Right now the cast is up against the challenge of improvising scenes, and developing the storyline of the play. For example when we first got the scrip one of the character’s storylines was that he wanted to be an artist when he grew up but his dad wanted him to go to college because his sister was “the one artist in the family”. Now the cast and Mr. Howard have decided to make the same character have a new storyline. Denis is now a successful businessman, but wanted to be a professional baseball player when he was younger.

The progression of the script is a very time consuming but rewarding task. Especially for the actors because on show night the audience will not know what parts were in the original script but the performers will. Mr. Howard is the improvisation teacher at Berkshire School so this is right in his wheelhouse. Be sure to ask the cast after the show if your favorite part was in the original script.
