“MSU UnScripted”

MSU Department of Theatre’s improv comedy showcase

Don’t miss “MSU UnScripted,” MSU Department of Theatre’s improv comedy showcase taking place this weekend.

No two shows will be the same. Twenty-six student performers have been separated into five different teams, with each team performing twice during the five-show run. The night of comedy will feature a mix of classic and new improv games, with performances made up on the spot, inspired by audience suggestions.

“One of my favorite principles of improvisation is the idea that there are no mistakes, only opportunities to explore a new idea,” said Sarah Hendrickson, director of the MSU Theatre Department’s improvisation and acting faculty.

“Improv comedians are constantly looking at given circumstances with a new perspective and working as an ensemble to achieve a common goal. We strive, in the Department of Theatre, to help students push the boundaries of discovery to become artists and find the humor in things whenever possible.”

Tickets are $23.50 for general admission, $21.50 for seniors, MSU faculty and staff and $13.50 for students. Tickets are available at whartoncenter.com, at the Wharton Center box office or by calling 1-800-WHARTON.
