Forever pushing the boundaries of theatrical improvisation, Naomi Snieckus and Matt Baram have once again asked renowned Canadian writers to pen the first two pages of a new play and seal them in an envelope. Each night a new envelope will be opened on stage for the first time, the pages read cold, and the resulting hour-long play completely improvised by the cast!
Once again, exciting writers have been chosen to pen the two pages, meaning seven new plays, seven playwrights, and seven more unbelievable high-wire acts of improvisational daring from The National Theatre of the World!
