Students become cast members, suspects and detectives in one of three hilarious violence-free “whoodunnits”: The Show Might Go On, The Valentine’s Day Mystery or The Case of the Washed-Out Watercolor. Through the vehicle of reader’s theatre, they practice speaking aloud, improve their reading fluency and use creative thinking to devise an original solution to the mystery. Each show is designed for approximately 30 individual and two group roles which can be assigned before the artist arrives or at the beginning of the program.
Laughing Matters
Laughing Matters formed in 1985 out of its members' collective love of improvisational acting.
Tommy Futch, Ryan Girard, Jamie Moore, Marc Farley, Amber Nash, Tara Ochs, Perry Frost, Betty Hart and Eve Krueger make up Laughing Matters. Their backgrounds ranging from teaching improv to all ages to acting on stage, film and television to serving as Director of Improvisation at a local theatre.
