their sold-out performances in March, the RSVP
returns with more live, unscripted theatre,

advance planning. </p>

Helvetica, sans-serif; color:#000000;
font-size:12px; line-height:150%">The first half
of the show will consist of a long-form
improvisational structure known as an "Armando."
The audience will suggest a topic that will
inspire our monologist to tell a true personal
story. The troupe members will then deconstruct
that story, mining it for ideas to inspire scenes.
The monologist will return with additional true
stories throughout the piece. </p>
<p style="text-align:justify; font-family: Arial,
Helvetica, sans-serif; color:#000000;
font-size:12px; line-height:150%">The second half
of the show will consist of short-form improvised
scenes, each of which will follow a different set
of rules that will affect the players' behavior in
some way; players may be forced to translate from
gibberish or answer audience questions in
character. Their singing abilities will be tested
as well.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify; font-family: Arial,
Helvetica, sans-serif; color:#000000;
font-size:12px; line-height:150%">Both the
long-form structure and most the of the short-form
games will be new to audiences who attended the
debut performances.</p>
