COLUMBUS GOES UNSCRIPTED
Central Ohioans will receive a huge helping of laughter October 8-11 during Columbus’ third annual improv comedy festival, Columbus Unscripted. Produced by Columbus Unscripted, the festival will include professional-level improvisational workshops as well as performances by over 15 local improv troupes and nationally acclaimed improvisers, Jamie Campbell, The Stevens Family and Hitch*Cocktails from the Annoyance Theatre Chicago.
Improvisation is the art of spontaneous performance. Everything that happens between performers on stage is entirely spontaneous; no scripts or preparation. Scenes are character-driven, and inspired by a single suggestion from the audience.
Special package discounts available as well as workshops for children on Saturday. Please contact Bill Sabo, Producer, (614-589-2455) or visit www.columbusunscripted.com to register for workshops and/or purchase tickets online.
