One of the many ways Improv Niagara brings humour and joy to the Niagara Region is by performing at special events. Recently, IN was asked to participate in a Surprise 70th birthday Party in Port Colborne, Ontario. Take a look at what our cast member Mickie Krish had to say about the event:
What a wonderful party! Improv Niagara players, Tino Notarianni and I had the pleasure of sharing in a surprise birthday party for Mickey Mayne. It was a fantastic opportunity to use improv as a way to celebrate and honour a lovely woman.
Mickey is has been a fan of the “Antique Roadshow” television program for years. Her family decided that it would be fun to surprise her with an Antique Roadshow-themed party! Guests were invited to bring any items that they would like to have appraised. Tino and I came dressed in bowties and improvised histories and details about what made each item uniquely special and the price these beloved possessions would fetch from motivated buyers. Some of these “heirlooms” included, an old doll, a rotary telephone, a straight razor, and even some “dinosaur dung”. The audience enjoyed hearing what made each piece so special, while also seeing their family and friends present and become part of these histories.
Everyone had a fantastic time and we were so pleased that we could bring a bit of joy to such a lovely woman. Improv is a wonderful tool that allows people to come together and create.
