SHOWTIME!

AN IMPROV INTENSIVE WITH LEE BOYES

Improv is fun! Finding your voice and spontaneously creating with others, can be a wonderful experience. However; we often get so wrapped up in our experience, that we may forget that of the audience.

Tomatoes Tried to Kill Me But Banjos Saved My Life, created by Keith Alessi, and directed by Edmontonian Erika Conway, tells the inspiring story of how a life-threatening cancer diagnosis led Keith to leave the corporate world and embrace his passion for the banjo.
