Waiting for the Call: The Improvised Musical is performed with dedication and energy. The young talented cast take to the stage to perform an entirely improvised piece of theatre. Before the show began, the audience were asked to provide three words to be used by the cast to create a story from scratch.

The company provided entertaining moments; however, at times their inexperience was exposed as they seemed unsure of themselves and tentative of their choices. Some moments were hilarious, but sometimes it's important to know when to hold back. Occasionally cast members failed to enhance scenes and instead detracted from wonderful moments of improvised theatre. 

Waiting for the Call: The Improvised Musical is a fun show, if you've never previously witnessed a piece of improvised theatre you will have your eyes opened!
