The Un-Scripted Theater Company takes on scripts! Working with a different guest playwright at every performance, the Un-Scripters interview the playwright on stage and then perform a cold "staged" reading of the first scene of an unfinished play. Afterward, they spend the rest of the evening finishing the play - totally improvised and working without scripts - starting from, you guessed it, Act One, Scene Two.

* Additional fees apply.

All offers for Act One, Scene Two have expired.

The last date listed for Act One, Scene Two was Saturday May 12, 2012 / 8:00pm.

Such an innovative concept. having the playwright interviewed at the onset was such a powerful addition. Transitions during the play seemed to drag. The actor portraying the Guard was supreme! Added a perfect comic touch. Would I go again? Maybe.

Great format! The actors moved seamlessly from script to improv, and I loved watching their characters take the 10 pages they were initially given and then run with it. Unlike any other improv I've seen in SF. I totally recommend this!

It was the best long-form improv I've seen yet. This ought to become a popular format. I like the topic of the play, tho it was no means an easy one to portray. Tho basically dramatic, I laughed a lot, both in the "perspective" vehicle supplied by the playwright and in the "real" action. Bravo!
