Imagine a theatre piece in which the principal performers know less than anyone else – this is The Dollhouse Project. Without any advance knowledge, the performers will find themselves costumed moments before the show and then thrust onto a set they've never set eyes upon. Unaware of the period, plot, genre, or even their own characters until they set foot onstage, the performers enter into a reciprocal act of creation: they will create a dramatic world and be created by it in turn. The Dollhouse Project is part improvisation, part planned narrative, and all a delirious experiment in spontaneous drama.

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.

In THAT’S DEEP, improvisers are paired up to have #deep conversations that inspire their sets.

Free will. The housing crisis. Is a hot dog a sandwich? These are just some of the topics our performers will cover, with all the introspection and depth one would expect from people who make funny faces and/or noises onstage.
