Yes
that’s right, all the way from Down-Under come three of New Zealand’s
finest improviser’s to strut their stuff on the Singapore Stage.
Lori Dungey, Irene Malone and Penny Ashton have over fifty years of
improvising experience between them and in July they’ll be giving
us a sample of their sultry skills in two shows only.
In
a show of classic Improv games, these three Hot Kumaras (delicious Kiwi
sweet potato), will incorporate audience suggestions into scenes, songs,
poems and general mayhem to create theatrical magic out of thin air.
No
scripts, no scores, no lines, no director calling the shots, just three
classy ladies riffing off what you have to say and guaranteed to make
you laugh yourself senseless.
New
Zealand is a land of quality female stock, just look at our sheep…..better
yet look at our Prime Minister, she’s a woman who knows what she
wants and so do these Kiwi Chicks. They want you to yell things at them
so they can be hilarious….it’s not too much to ask.
