  • Hogwarts: Improvised Potter

    Join us as we board the Hogwarts Express and go on a magical journey to our favourite school for witchcraft and wizardry. Using an audience suggestion, we will tell the untold story of a year at Hogwarts.

    Will Harry and his friends stumble into trouble? (Probably, that usually seems to happen).
    Will Filch find students out of bed after hours? (Again, likely).
    Will Snape get his shining moment? (One can only hope).
    Will Winky make an appearance? (Now you're asking a lot, but it is improvised - anything can happen!).

    Grab your broomsticks and be ready for a night of laughter, surprises, and pure enchantment!
    ---
    Hogwarts: Improvised Potter is brought to you by Priddy Playful Productions. Based in Montreal, we put on fully improvised plays, including shows such as Improvised Bridgerton, Improvised Myths & Legends, and Improvised Game of Thrones.

    $10 – $15

  • Improv 4 Breakfast

  • Sunday Night Improv Workshop

    Our workshop is a lively, engaging experience that leads directly into our show. Every Sunday, you can join us to practice scenes and learn about story-based improv, guided by a variety of great teachers. Sunday 4-6, always free.

  • Sunday Night Improv

    Our show is a natural extension of the workshop. A regular rotation of some of Montreal’s most talented improvisers always perform, including Sandi Armstrong, Alain Mercieca, Heidi Lynne Weeks, Maité Sinave, Mariana Vial, Adalia Pemberton, Solly Krygier-Paine, Kristina Guevarra, Mason Persaud, Shanthony Exum, Nicky Fournier and Jeremy Lewis . On top of having seasoned improvisers, we also have the new birds that walk in for the first time and steal the show. You could just literally show up and get thrown in the fire of a live show with no script! It has led to many amazing walk-in, home run hitters and creates an awesome “anything can happen” spirit, which is the backbone to improv.

    Always entertaining, Sunday Night Improv promises a good time for audiences who are welcome to contribute to the show through their suggestions and voting.

  • Acting for Improvisers

    Get out of your head and into your heart! When you are grounded in a scene, you know instinctively who your character is and how they feel; you won’t have to struggle with figuring out what to do next. You can be bold, free, and have much more fun! We will use The Meisner Acting Technique (repetition exercises), which trains actors to be better listeners, observers, more in touch with their instincts, more sensitive, and in turn respond truthfully to their partners and circumstances, with clarity and direction. This work puts the focus on deep listening, connecting, character point-of-view, behaviour, impulses, and reactions, which will lead to more organic, dramatic, and fun improv scenes. You will also gather some tools and training to help strengthen your technical stage skills, vocal and physical abilities, presence, boldness, and character development. You will receive constant feedback, so students must be prepared to grow.

    Wednesdays 7:00-9:00pm (Nov 6 - Dec 11)
