Originally we were formed to provide murder mysteries aboard dinner trains
in both the Maryland and Pennsylvania areas; some of us performed on trains
previous to this for other organizations. We did so with extreme
success both on the Entertrainment Line in Western Maryland as well as
the Liberty Limited in New Freedom, Pennsylvania. We have been in
central Pennsylvania performing for the last few years. Currently
we do shows on Middletown
&Hummelstown Railroad,just
outside of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. The
next train here is Saturday May 31, 2008. Check their web
site.
Our new purpose or mission is to provide the
best interactive audience participatory comical performances which are
second to none. Our style is improvisational which is different
from other companies. Other groups tend to have part script and part
improvisational performance; there is interaction with audience members
but for limited periods of time. We, instead of having a performance
depending on the vision of a director, let the team of performers provide
their best interpretation and support for other members of the team.
The fluidity of the show then fits the needs of the night and audience,
allowing performers the flexibility to provide, at a moments notice, their
best efforts.
Why
should you care? If you want a traditional theatrical experience,
then that’s what you should get. Most of us come from this
background where we have been successful. The play is over there
or up there and the audience is over here observing. Interacting
or changing what has been pre-determined may prove difficult.
We do not live in a plug and play world. All the best plans often go astray. Whether you like it or not very little of our lives are scripted and we end up getting through the best we can by making it up as we go along. You can plan all you want and determine what people will do and enjoy but when you hit the deck and the action begins, everything changes. Actors prepare so that the performance goes on regardless what happens on that stage. Our performers prepare for whatever might happen not only among themselves but with the audience which we judge to be on “stage” with us. No one can quite predict what will happen, which is where a total improvisational/interactive style comes to the rescue. Audience members are given an experience which is deeper and better than elsewhere because they have participated in a fun way. There is no way we can get enough of anything that is fun.
We are now ready to expand into new territory both geographically as well
as artistically. We are ready to transport an audience to another
time and place as soon as they enter the room. We love to get help
from people who love wild ideas full of energy. For details on this
contact me, Herb Otter,
Producer.
Improv For Your Life :Team Building Improv can be a way of life and
a way for business. Teaching improvisational comedy to non performers
is an extremely useful business tool in team building, improved communication,
creative thinking, and much more. Having fun and laughing is a most
effective way of learning and having any organization function. Contact
us; we can accomplish a lot in a short period of time.
Let our experienced company of professional actors transport you into a realm of murder. Watch or become a part of a fun filled afternoon or evening of entertainment one could die for, with laughter as a deadly weapon. To paraphrase Alfred Hitchcock: "Murder can be a pleasant experience even for the victim, as long as all those involved behave as ladies and gentlemen”.
