I'm so excited to announce Impro ACT's next double feature full production theatre event at the spiritual home of theatre in the nation's capital, Canberra REP Theatre, right in the CBD.

ACT I: PONG - inspired by truly THE original video game, played on your cathode ray TV back in the 70's, the action in this world premiere performance bounces back and forth between vignettes by various performers at the whim of a referee guiding the path of the narrative ball. Theatrical table tennis, improvised by performers handpicked by Director, Nick Byrne, who is just back from a nine-nation, fourteen-city tour of Europe, Africa, and Asia.

PONG is art meets nerd in theatre that is innovative, comedic, touching, dramatic, and relentlessly engaging.

ACT II: Duets - a truly heartwarming injection of love, combining songs, scenes, and storytelling, each moment inspired by the previous one.

Duets is a real ensemble love-in, returning to the stage after a very successful 2023 season at The Street Theatre, but with all new stories, each and every night, that will make you laugh, cry, and fall in love again.

REP Theatre has just 188 seats, so whilst you're in a full-service raked-seating environment, with comfortable foyer bar, and all you expect from a night at the theatre, it's still an intimate experience, and best book early, here: https://canberrarep.org.au/content/book-online-choose-performance?ID=IMP4
