Whose Crime Is It Anyway?
Whose Crime Is It Anyway? invites attendees to throw away their inhibitions, open their minds and connect with the action! From the moment the audience is seated, performers begin forging a strong rapport by mingling with attendees, collecting suggestions for various segments of the upcoming performance, and getting a feel for the tone of the group. The show includes 4 to five performers and a piano player.

Our troupe of performers boast an average of twenty years-plus experience as improvisation artists, and have routinely entertained groups of 10 to 1000. They are uniquely gifted at absorbing information from the audience, and twisting that data into precisely-structured – and hilarious! – narratives.

Act One features a variety of improvisation structures, each one jump-started with suggestions solicited from the audience. Typically, performers might ask for a location where people might meet, an occupation, an object you might find stuck to the bottom of your shoe, etc.

During the intermission, performers will again mingle with the audience, helping them to contribute a large volume of written suggestions to be used in Act Two.

Act Two Features an extended improvisation called Whose Crime?, which uses the many written suggestions solicited during the intermission. This unique improv structure is a completely ad-libbed scene incorporating wholly original suggestions from the audience. This never-before-seen, never-to-be-repeated piece of theater is most often the high point of the evening, as by this point in the show the relationship between performers and audience members has formed an affectionate collaboration in which both are participating in the creative – and comedic – journey.

Whose Crime Is It Anyway? Is available for private groups of 50 to 1000.

Team-Building Feature
Comedy has traditionally provided a safe space through which to acknowledge truths about the lives and work we share. And since it never fails that suggestions provided by the corporate group audience are heavily weighted toward references to the workplace, the audience’s corporate culture is reviewed and reiterated through this lens of interactive comedy. Everybody gets to touch base with the common experience of their shared work environment, sharing the laughter of affirmation and mutual recognition.

This cast also will lead the Inter-action Workshops.
