The Improvisational Repertory Theatre Ensemble is now into their third season of improvised shows that are sure not to disappoint. The Scary is a comedic tribute to the writer Stephen King. Along with props, costumes, and audience participation the IRTE team is able to put on an entertaining performance. The show has a unique and radical feel because of the “make it up as you go” philosophy. The actors are well invested in this character-driven show. The amount of fun they were having is obvious to the audience.

A comedic twist on the King of Horror is something I’ve never seen before and I enjoyed the show. I really appreciated the creativity of  the show and the cast as a whole. They were quick to respond and fun to watch. The whole audience had a blast watching them. My favorite aspect was the creative use of props. Red streamers, fake blood, hats, and wigs all helped to bring home the show.

During a short intermission, music guest Craig Greensberg performed some of his original music. He soulfully played his piano and guitar to entertain the audience while the actors were on a short break. There is no doubt the IRTE crew are funny and great at what they do, which is improv. I encourage you to check them out this season for more radical and theatrical fun!
