For eight weeks a band of fresh faced and bold adventurers have been exploring the art of improvisation for the stage. On July 1st WIT invite you to a friends and family night of improv fun, kicking off from 7pm with said brave band going through their paces, followed by an improv jam.
Venue is the Drama Christi Studio at 75 Taranaki Street, Wellington. The Studio is to the right of the Wesley Church, entry is round the back, and there’s an accessibility ramp.
On March 27th a special expeditionary force of WITsters broke out of Wellington and ventured up the coast to the Kapiti Junction Brewery Bar for a night of frolicsome improv fun.
The show is over, but it was a fine ride to the outer reaches of the improv universe.
Ran April 29th to May 3rd at BATS Theatre as part of the 2014 NZ International Comedy Festival.
Yay for the Fringe Festival, the 2014 edition was amazing, and huge congrats to WIT’s Co-Creative Director Jennifer O’Sullivan, who was awarded Spirit of the Fringe! As well as two wholly WIT shows Return to Sender and Battle of WITs, WIT people branched out into solo and creative endeavors all over town. Just a sample: Jen ran the Fringe at the Gryphon venue and appeared in own late-night improv show (and many others). Lyndon Hood pulled together audience-cast Shakespeare covering comedy, history and tragedy. Christine Brooks gave sage advice as Soap character Mackenzie Morgan, and did Literally Anything while part of duo Brooks and Brown. Darryn Woods was a “brilliantly embittered” McDuff in the Scottish Play in the Botanic Gardens.
