Improv Play

6/20/09 (I should have made this blog entry earlier, but I never got around to it)
Nick and Muriel are improv actors, which is like being an actor, but you make up the play as you go along. We didn't get to go to one of their shows, but we went to one, and it was fun. The one we went to was a kids show that had "audience perticipation". At the beginning of the play, the narrator asked the audience what their favorite place was, and one kid shouted "Navy Peir!". We got to dress up the actors, and sometimes they would call kids out of the audience to be a character in the play. It ended up being about a indian boy who went to Navy Peir and had to follow his destiny which was to become a ballerina. At one point one of the main characters in the play, a tourist from Shomberg said somthing like "Chicago ain't no place like Shomberg" and Ben shouted out "That's a double negative!". So later the actors called Ben up to the stage to be the ghost of rules. Ben did a good job of it and Mom cracked up.
