From Rhode Island, Providence Improv Guild, has brought professional improv coaching and performance to audiences all over the northeast and beyond. After spending a day workshopping with the Curtain Raisers, audiences will be treated to a full set from these exceptional comic performers.
The members of P.I.G. create unconventional characters and absurd stories from audience suggestions, ensuring that no two shows are ever just alike.
Opening the evening will be the Mt. Blue Curtain Raisers, the high school improv comedy troupe nearing the end of its 14th season. Curtain Raisers deliver a unique blend short improv games like those seen on “Whose Line Is It, Anyway?” and longer storytelling games developed by the Curtain Raisers themselves.
Curtain Raisers members include Audrey Keith, Jonathan Lesko, Tommy Eng, Kayleigh Morin, Ike Libby, Allie Callahan, Park Laflin, Ben Luchini, Steven Minns, Jordan Kapiloff, Alex Gilbert, Roshan Luick, Sam McIntosh, Siti Afiqah Muhammed, Dan Lesko and Aaron Willingham.
All proceeds from this evening will go to the family of senior Mike Bennoch, who has recently been diagnosed with cancer and is battling the disease at Boston Children’s Hospital. Family friends have also created a GoFundMe page, “Please Help Mike.”
Providence Improv Guild and Mt. Blue Curtain Raisers take to the stage at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, May 15 in the Mt. Blue Campus Forum. A suggested donation of $5 per person will go directly to the family of Mike Bennoch. Questions about the performance may be directed to Curtain Raisers Artistic Director, Dan Ryder, at 778-3561 or dryder@mtbluersd.org.
