Theatre Reviews

The Wednes­day after­noon per­for­mance of The Big Stu­pid Improv Show fea­tured mem­bers of local improv troupes Crumbs and Out­side Joke, plus a few out-of-town per­form­ers. The show fea­tured short scenes framed around game shows and famous movies. Because improv is made up in the moment, some­times it works and some­times it doesn’t. Yes­ter­day was one of those days when things went bad­ly wrong. Stacey Hallal’s first char­ac­ter went for over the top cry­ing instead of build­ing a real per­son. In a scene about love­mak­ing, Fraz Wiest had to ask the DJ to play roman­tic music instead of the nov­el­ty tune that she was play­ing. And, in a scene about Star Wars Episode 4, one of the per­form­ers was per­form­ing scenes from episode 5. How­ev­er, the good thing about improv is that their next show will have dif­fer­ent per­form­ers and dif­fer­ent inspi­ra­tions so it will like­ly be bet­ter than the show that I saw.
