The actors are on script, the improvisers are not! Given Half a Chance (produced by Todd Benzin, Amy Feder, and Caitlin Steitzer) is a quarterly show at Buffalo Improv House, where celebrated actors in Buffalo are on script and the improvisers they are paired with are not — they don’t even know what play they are doing a scene from! What happens is a hilarious and dynamic show of commitment and justification, showcasing the talent of our city’s scripted actors and the deftness of our improvisers.
Given Half a Chance is a two-night event, with the same cast of scripted actors paired with different improvisers each night — no scene will be the same!
