SOLANA BEACH, Calif. - TelAve -- Los Angeles Times calls Impro Theatre "Amazing! One of the funniest evenings in town, the troupe spins an entire play into comedy gold right before your eyes."

Starting with an audience suggestion and creating completely improvised, full-length plays in the styles of the world's greatest writers, Impro Theatre a comic laugh out loud evening of theatre. They have performed all over the country.

A holiday comedy inspired by the works of Charles Dickens. This is a Winter Holiday show built on vivid narration and rich characters inspired by the books of Charles Dickens, all of it improvised. Comic portraits, cruel melodrama and humane charity of heartbreaking tenderness explode onto the teeming streets of Victorian London. Coincidence, redemption and the spirit of Christmas drive the plot – as one might expect from a holiday show with Dickens in the title. In Dickens UnScripted, the entire ensemble shares storytelling duties. As in the Royal Shakespeare Company's classic production of Nicholas Nickleby, any character can take over the narration at any time. The exciting difference is that no cast member knows in advance who will wind up a street urchin or doting aunt, sailor or jailer, judge or kindly chestnut-seller-who-turns-out-to-be-the-missing-heir-to-a-large-fortune.
