Our Performances

---

Tom's Foolery is a troupe that performs Improvised comedy--also called extemporaneous comedy.  

Our actors perform without a script--we make up the stories as we go!

Each one of our shows consists of a number of improvisation games performed in two acts with a 10-minute intermission.  

Some games use only two performers; some games use three performers; and some games use four.  Some games use all of us!  

Each game has its own unique rule that the performers must obey as they extemporize the scene.  In every game, 

one team member serves as the moderator, giving the performers their role assignments and/or the setting for their scene.  

The actors performing in that game will have no advance notice of those roles nor of the setting.  With no time to prepare, 

the actors rely on their quick wits and teamwork to come up with lines and actions on the spot, creating a funny scene. 

The audience also contributes much to the fun of each show:  For some of our improv games, audience members 

are invited to suggest prompts or situations that we might use on stage.  In a some of our games, one or two audience members 

are selected to come up on stage and assist in certain ways!  

We would love to see YOU be a member of our audience!  No fooling!
