Actors Needed! Improv show in Edinburgh Fringe.

Righto people!

 

(That is my new start that I seem to find fun to type, who knows why).

 

Anyway down to serious business. Ludus Ludius are in search of 4 - 5 actors whom have improvisation experience or willing to put the time in to gain some. Unlike the usual casting methods your gender, cv nor appearance is of much concern. (Obviously a mix of genders is what we need, but that'll come into play if we have 4 males already cast and thus would have to only seek…

Hey,

Anyone know of a boxing/wrestling ring?

I do know people who could tell me, but I don't tend to bump into them.

Personally in my attempt at getting a to the stage where we can do a full musical that is improvised would be great. In order to do so, it is vital to locate some Improv Musicians in… Continue

'Playtime With Us' review, Fair Play festival

They were amazing... It was gob-smacking... and utter filth.



Ok, I'll explain. We got there and they were all in the sun, thus the Main Stage of the Fair Play festival where we took to the stage at 3.15pm to perform 'Playtime with Us' was on dirt and gravel. We often were on the floor on the dusty ground that became our oxygen.
