RoseColored Glasses is now forming an Sketch Comedy/Improv Troupe. What is Sketch Comedy/Improv - well it's simply part written and part made up on the spot. Improvisation is theater based on audience suggestion and performed with skits, games and songs. No experience necessary. No age requirement. For our jam sessions, we go over improv exercises to warm the mind up for quick thinking skills. Here you can view some of the warm up
exercises we do as well as the various games we play. We are an open troupe to everyone. All suggestions and ideas welcome! Original scripts and ideas coming soon!
