Shakespeare Unscripted

Directed by Brian Lohmann and Dan O’Connor

Shakespeare Unscripted is a completely improvised play in the style of William Shakespeare. Poetry, drama, comedy and romance all are possible when Impro Theatre attempts to “ascend the brightest heaven of invention.”

There is no script and no net. Only guts, wit and a few suggestions from the audience to get the show started.
Influenced by the improvisational techniques of Keith Johnstone, Mike Leigh, the Commedia dell Arte’, and set in a spontaneous tornado of Shakespearean ideas and characters, Impro Theatre creates a completely unique and thoroughly entertaining story every performance. You will never see the same show twice!

“Shakespeare Unscripted is a superlative example of what theatrical improv should be.”
– Improv Review.com

“It was nice to see Shakespeare improvised for style and content rather than just a scene with a few thees and thous thrown in. “
-Improv Review

“The real fun lies in anticipating where this patchwork story is going to go next, and in watching the actors doing whatever it takes to keep the narrative afloat…”
– L.A. Weekly

Jane Austen Unscripted

“ImproTheatre’s gift lies in far more than improv’s expected one-liners and zingers–rather, their gift is the more subtle and complex art of storytelling…Austen would be pleased, indeed.” – Laist.com

Sondheim Unscripted

“An outstanding cast that clearly understands the form they are spoofing and have the vocal power to sustain it.”
— LA Weekly

Chekhov UnScripted

“…again the cast delved straight into a familial saga of lust and glass snakes… splashed liberally with vodka and sweated out in a hot sauna.”
– LA Weekly

“Substitute an ensemble well-versed in improvisational wickedness, add dramaturgical history and unforeseeable audience suggestions, and the result couldn’t be more hilarious than this latest offering from the recently renamed Impro Theatre.”
