Nikki and Laura are doing a Tag Team Monologue, in which they both play the same character. Laura is mirroring Nikki before she tags in, to make sure she is in character before she starts talking.

March 2013 Family Improv at the Gallery Players
Laura is improvising the monologue now. Nikki is about to tag in, and will try to take over the character's gestures and body language, as well as what she is saying.

That's not litter on the stage. Laura and Bones will stop several times during this scene (about Zombies in the garden), pick up one of those pieces of paper, and say whatever an audience member has written on it - AND they have to make it make sense in the scene! By the way, the Zombies won.

Everyone got involved in this improvisation - the Red Team AND the Blue Team...

All of the theatre games rely on close cooperation. In the Conducted Story, Laura, Bones and four audience members are working to make up a story together. Each one speaks as long as Mike is pointing to them. But when Mike takes his finger away and points to someone else, that next person will try to pick up exactly where the first person left off - even if it's in the middle of a word. It's great if they can do it, but mistakes are super fun, too!

Laura and Nikki get to say whatever they think their characters would say, but they can't move unless one of the kids moves them.

The girl in the chair gets to tell Laura and Nikki when they are on the right track (or when they are so far off they have to start over) as they attempt to improvise a scene from her life.

Part of Freestyle Rep's mission is to encourage people of all ages to go to the theatre. So at every Family Matinee, we have a drawing for free tickets to the Gallery Players' mainstage shows.
