SCRIPTED COMEDY
I write a unique form of a play which I like to call a Theatrical. A theatrical has approximately 8 performers playing over 100 characters in a single, full length play. Rather than traditional costumes, sets, props or traditional scene queues, my theatricals use long-form improv technique to get from scene to scene. These techniques allow a theatrical to take an audience through a range of emotions in quick succession and relies on their imagination to accomplish more than what could be done with traditional staged limitations.
