Basic Plot: 2 energetic workout instructors hope to whip their class into shape with some moves that are not only unconventional, they are downright silly. This no-prep improv skit promises to get some gut laughs and top notch candid photo ops.
Genre: Improvisation Comedy
Male, Female or Either: all can be either
Length of skit: 3-10 minutes
Who: This is an opportunity for the entire cast and crew to provide their own costumes, improv acting and energy to the Variety Show, drama club gathering or group bonding event.
What: This is a performance that 2 designated actors will be ready to lead, while the rest of the cast and crew participate, acting along with the 2 designated leading actors as they give prompts. There is no prep work unless you want to add costumes or props, but you don’t have to. It should be spontaneous.
Why: This is an act that will provide more content for your Variety Show without the typical prepwork of a play or skit. It’s also wonderful for bonding within the group to do something all together and include the stage crew.
When: This ‘act’ will be integrated into the Variety Show performance line up to provide uniqueness to the feel of the show.
Where: This ‘act’ will be performed on stage, as a group, possibly with some audience participation.
