The Troupe
The Troupe is an acting ensemble composed of MTU students who work on improvisation and scenes. The Troupe has performed commedia scenarios, a revue of sketches for children, and many different improvisational scenes.The goals of the group are to establish a repertoire of exercises, characters, and scenarios which can be used in performance and particularly to work towards scripting their own material appropriate for younger (K-12) audiences, while at the same time honing acting skills and improvisational abilities. They also have a great deal of fun. Admission to the group is by audition or permission of the director.
The annual Family Show is an improv performance designed especially for kids and families. It is filled with games, skits, color, action, and the Troupe's family-friendly antics.
We would greatly appreciate it if you could tell your drama club, drama classes, and elementary students about this show. Also, if you're interested in having the Troupe do a workshop with your drama groups or interested students of any age, we would love to help you.
