Florida Studio Theatre Gears up for Sarasota Improv Festival
Hip hop, French farce, the Twilight Zone—who knew these are all genres of improv comedy? You’ll experience them and many others at Florida Studio Theatre’s three-day Sarasota Improv Festival on July 14, 15 and 16. The ever-expanding festival, now in its eighth year, offers comedy from 18 of the country’s top improv groups (and actually beyond; one group originates in Canada and another in Colombia). Among the newbies are headliner Impro Theatre (the Twilight Zone: Unscripted approach) and Parallelogramophonograph, from Austin, Texas (the French farce one). Lots of popular returning groups as well, like Improv Boston, North Coast and Available Cupholders. For a complete line-up and info on passes, call 366-9000 or go to floridastudiotheatre.org
