Paper Street Theatre

Dave Morris is a speaker, teacher, and storyteller, but mostly he's an improviser. He's been teaching, producing and performing improvisation around Canada and the world for the last 15 years. He is the artistic director of the award-winning Paper Street Theatre co. in Victoria B.C., was a long-time volunteer and regional director for the Canadian Improv Games, and performs his one-man improvised storytelling shows to high acclaim. He has performed and taught at festivals around the world, including Seattle, London, Berlin, Amsterdam, Chicago, and many more across Canada. He's busy often, but can always be busier.

Chaz first started his improv journey over half his life ago. From Middle School, to the Canadian Improv Games, to PaperStreet, Chaz has embraced the improv lifestyle with open arms. In his spare time, he coaches the Esquimalt’s Senior and Junior CIG teams. Chaz is very proud of all his students, and feels fortunate to be surrounded by so many amazing people. His favourite part of improv is supporting everyone on stage. Even if he doesn’t know where the scene is going, he knows we’ll discover it together.

Theodore is one of those people who does many things, people call him for reasons, and then things happen. In this instance Paper Street Theatre asked for a set design and construction, it will probably happen when there is a show. It will likely be acceptable, at the very least it will be fun for Theodore.
