Improvised Philip K. Dick - UCBT-NY 11pm TONIGHT
I’m directing this show, in which two sets of improvisers each create a Harold in the style of Philip K. Dick stories. This is going to be a great show! Some of the scenes they’ve created in class:
—A world in which pain is currency
—A world where time runs at different speeds
—A group of roadies for a band called The Jeremies, who have named themselves after a racial slur for a race of shape-shifters
—The Mississippi riverboat culture of the planet Venus
—A political candidate who denies using Drug X, even though an X is emblazoned in sweaty blood on his forehead
—A snake that devours anyone with a heartbeat, unless that person muffles the heartbeat by hugging someone
—A daughter’s bedroom covered in glow-in-the-dark stars, where each star is a recording of a dead relative saying “I love you.”
—A drug that makes you smarter but emotionless
—Star-crossed lovers with a girl from the Day People and the boy from the Night People (No reference meant to the Onassis sketch)
Lots of other great shit.
SO EXCITED.
Holy crap, this sounds amazing.
