The Bad Dog Repertory Players (BDRP), featuring some of Toronto’s best-loved professional improvisers, have been working together for over a year, developing fresh shows and unique formats. The BDRP are Bad Dog Theatre Company’s resident cast and draw their talents from all across Canada, as selected by veteran improviser and Bad Dog Artistic Director Julie Dumais.
Freshly returned from an extremely successful appearance at the Vancouver Improv Festival and their most ambitious Toronto production to date, the BDRP are excited to present their newest show The Guest List. This show promises to showcase the Repertory Players’ amazingly vibrant array of characters as never seen before. The Guest List runs for a special one-night-only performance on April 17th at 8pm.
The Guest List is one party you don't want to miss! Drawing on the audience's own experience, the players use suggestions of significant life events where friends and family might gather. With no other information, the BDRP will transform themselves into an array of party-goers, bringing to life characters that are both outlandish and familiar, and morphing the stage into an intimate gathering on the spot. Replete with family dysfunction, unlikely trysts and wacky uncles who make you remember why you never invite yours to anything, ever - The Guest List is character-based narrative in which families fall apart and bonds are formed between the most unlikely of pairs. Just throw your coats on the bed…
Starring: Kyle Dooley (Picnicface, Rollertown) Tess Degenstein (Globe Theatre – Regina, Space Janitors), Sean Tabares (Canadian Comedy Award winner – best male improviser), Colin Munch (Throne of Games, SexT-Rex), Hannah Spear (Sexy Nerd Girl, Rapid Fire Theatre), Evany Rosen (Picnicface, Space Janitors), Jess Bryson (VTSL, Pump Trolley), Etan Muskat (The Bitter End, Montreal Improv), Chris Ramelan (Canadian Improv Games, Improv U).
This one-night-only performance takes place April 17, 2013 at Comedy Bar. Tickets are $12 regular/ $10 student and are available at the door. To reserve tickets in advance visit www.baddogtheatre.com or call Comedy Bar Box Office at 416-551-6540.
