The Ultimate Actor’s Nightmare

Axiom Theatre—John Hirsch Mainstage

Fronting as a classic and solid improv show, the performance is quickly derailed by a dictatorial director, fresh off a marvel marathon and ready to throw his performers under the bus in the name of trite plot structures and groan worthy superhero references. The professionalism and performing strength of all the Club Soda Improv members who were in attendance at the show I saw were in full display. The crowd participation was a definite highlight, as the two kids who were most engaged in providing suggestions were both well managed, and had their ideas thoroughly included. At the end of the day, if you like improv without too many gimmicks, you can’t go wrong with this show.
