Improv troupe to take audience suggestions at Sequim show this Friday

SEQUIM ­— The improvisational comedy troupe Tweaking Reality will put on a free show at Olympic Theatre Arts, 414 N. Sequim Ave., this Friday, and everyone’s invited.

As part of Sequim’s First Friday Art Walk, the troupe — actors Olivia Shea, Dave McInnes, Pamela Ziemann and Danny Willis — will step up at 6 p.m.

The playhouse doors and beverage bar will open at 5 p.m., and admission is free, while wine and soft drinks will be available for purchase.

Tweaking Reality, which has done several performances over the past year, is all about audience suggestions.

The troupe takes these pitches from the crowd and turns them into skits, no rehearsal required.

“We have so much fun. . . . It’s exhilarating to be put on the spot,” Willis said.

“Our troupe has been working together for a while now,” he added, “so we know how to get the best from one another.”

Shea, a veteran actress and director, said she’s in the early learning stage as an improv comic.

“It’s a rush to be in such a spontaneous situation,” she said.

“You and your partners have to work together, always letting the situation carry you to new places.”

For more information about Tweaking Reality’s show and other activities at Olympic Theatre Arts, phone the box office, open from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays, at 360-683-7326.
