MURDER MYSTERY IMPROVE SNEAKS ONTO VAGABOND ACTING TROUPE STAGE
Honey Brook, PA - For Immediate Release - The Vagabond Acting Troupe has been hard at work training up an improv troupe made of local students, and after two showcase performances, the troupe is taking on a full length improv murder mystery. Film Noir Murder Mystery Improv will be presented as two nights of BYO Dinner Theater, May 2 at 7 p.m. (doors open at 6:30) and Saturday, May 3 at 1 p.m. (doors open at 12:30). Directed by Dutch Blitzkrieg Founding Artistic Director, Joanne Mercer, the comedy turn on the film noir genre will provide three original performances, each night including information provided by the audience!
Featuring team members Zack Walker, Mary O'Donnel, Jack Founds, Tia Wilkin, Tim Elliot and Rachel Wilkin, the comedy includes the standard "stereotypical" movie mystery characters, which encounter (in the audience's presence) a murder! Audience members provide information to the actors to help them create an original mystery each night. And who knows, the audience might even be included in the "action."
Mercer, who is a founding ensemble member of the Vagabond Acting Troupe, has spent several years studying with various improv companies, including the renowned company at the 2nd City in Chicago. Founding her own company, Dutch Blitzkrieg, Mercer also regularly does live improv theater with the Stroudsberg Railroad's train robbery series
"I am amazed at the talent involved. Vagabond Acting Troupe's staff has really trained these kids well," says Mercer, who was a founding ensemble member of the troupe 20 years ago, but has just returned recently as improv instructor. " As a teacher, I did not anticipate laughing so hard, for so long, at every creative rehearsal."
