Vic-GORE-ia, an improvised murder mystery, May 2 - 3 @ Intrepid Theatre Club

Vic High Improv Club presents an evening of intrigue, suspense and murder!

We start with seven innocents (or seemingly innocent) in a small town we like to call Vic-GORE-ia.  Over the space of three "nights", three of our fine townsfolk are eliminated by an unknown assailant and you, the audience, get to figure it out, along with the surviving townsfolk!

Where?  Intrepid Theatre Club, 2 - 1609 Blanshard Street (at Fisgard)
When? Thursday, May 2 and Friday, May 3, 8pm (Doors @ 7:30pm)
How much? $12 per person

All proceeds go to funding the improv club activities, which for 2014 includes a trip to the Berlin Improv Festival!

Our response to Challenge #3 - The Match

Here it is! Our response to challenge #3 - The Match!

This challenge was about explaining the competitions that each school team partakes in.  In Canada, there is a national competition called the Canadian Improv Games (CIG) which has been going on for over 30 years.  It is a Olympic-style competition aimed at high school students in grades 9 through 12 which happens across the country.  Each team has a choice of 5 events they can present - only 4 events have to be performed.  Events have a time limit (four minutes for the senior teams and  three minutes for the junior teams) and are scored by a panel of judges.  While it is "competitive", the CIG promotes this as as a "loving competition" which is reflected in the way that all teams support each other.

Our response has various team members explaining the events in their own words mixed in with footage from the events themselves.
