Saturday night the Yogi’s and NaNa ventured into midtown Tulsa to the Henthorne Community Center to see the Clark Theater’s Teen Laughing Matter Improv Show.
It was all teenagers, led by adults, who have been working all Fall and Spring on their comedy improv skills. Everybody got to play in this fast paced show which went fast. This is SuperPizzaBoy’s second year in improv, his first in the Improv group. He loves it and his mother and I are amazed about how much he comes out of his shell.
SPB’s fellow Improvers are a very quick very personable bunch who are also a bunch of hams. Improv involves a lot of interaction with the audience who toss out suggestions for various things. Many of these things involve current events, pop culture, history and such. No video game references. It was amazing the breadth of these kids knowledge.
They have good teachers. The adult leaders of the group are demanding and but infinite patience as they whip their charges into shape.
We are big fans of Clark Theater and their leaders.
Oh how fun! SPB looks really into this. I studied improve in college and loved it.
Oh what fun. I’m glad SPB is having a good time.
Looks like a great group of young people. Hats off to the adult leaders for their involvement.
I am agog at what those students are doing, don’t think I would have had the nerve to do something like improvisation when I was at school. Good on them and the staff for taking them out of their comfort zone – you must be both so proud.
SPB is an outgoing young man, apparently not one bit shy! This looks like a great idea and lots of fun for all.
Josiah did that for a season. And I think it was at Clark Theatre. I was wowed by his Improv skills! Who knew! Glad to see SPB enjoying it too!
I’m impressed that improv helps SPB so much! I would be super scared to do it myself… but I’m way too self conscious! Kudos to SPB!
Looks like a great event! The close-up of SPB is wonderful.
