Paper Street Theatre
Season 10
Paper Street Theatre's 10th season of completely improvised theatre is here! This season is all about reaching out to our fellow artists. In GRIMM we'll be working with our friends from Broken Rhythms to bring improv and contemporary dance together. In Road Trip, Byron and Dave will take a long-awaited trip with a different visiting improviser each night, and in The First Few Pages we'll be partnering with four local playwrights. After a couple years of isolation, this season we're bringing people together. We can't wait to share it with you.

2022-2023 Season
GRIMM
We are partnering with our Friends Broken Rhythms to teach you a simple lesson: The fairy tales you know aren’t as pleasant as you think. They have a rather grim past. Snow White puts the evil queen in iron shoes and makes her dance until she dies, Cinderella’s sisters get their eyes pecked out by birds, and the Frog isn’t kissed, throwing him against the wall turns him into a prince. Join Paper Street Theatre as we tell our own, improvised, cautionary tales with some inspiration from you and The Brothers Grimm.
This show will feature improv theatre as well as contemporary dance.

Road Trip
The road. That special place between places. The place where we cease to be inhabitants, and instead become travellers. Where we are no longer burdened with practicality and are finally able to ask the deep questions. The road is where we all become philosophers and poets. So buckle up, and come watch Dave Morris and Byron Kjeldsen in an improv show that takes place entirely in a car. Like any road-trip, there will be lively conversation, awkward silences, some jokes, and, of course, snacks.

The First Few Pages
A new show from Paper Street Theatre using something we’ve never used before… scripts! Don’t worry, we won’t be using the whole script, just the first few pages. We’ve partnered with four local playwrights and asked them to write four different beginnings to four original plays. Each performance, our cast of improvisers will cold read one of the scripts until it runs out, and then we’ll improvise the rest. Every night will be the world premiere of a new play where not even the playwright knows the ending.
