It’s Your Line, Anyway

Today, the most popular hilarious TV shows and movies are often loved for the chemistry and improvisational dynamic between the actors. Want to learn secrets of how your favorite comedians manage the magic? Diana DePasquale, an improvisor and performer who has trained at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater, The Magnet Theater, and The Peoples Improv Theater in NYC has developed a Toledo Improv program providing an introduction to long-form improvisational comedy. De Pasquale moved to Bowling Green in 2010 to pursue a doctorate in American Culture Studies and thought Toledo’s improv comedy scene was lacking. She now coaches BGSU’s female improv team, Lady Parts, and will also be offering classes. DePasquale invites those interested with a bit of a creative side to learn, have fun, develop confidence and step out to produce imaginative comedy. Check out our discussion with the new princess of improv at toledocitypaper.com.

Classes are $150 a person, and will be held Saturday mornings from 10am-12:30pm, at the Collingwood Arts Center, beginning November 1 for 8 weeks and includes a public performance in Collingwood’s Black Box Theater on December 27th at 7:30pm. 419-595-0877. http://sites.google.com/site/toledoimprov.
