THE SQUARE PEGS:"BamBam" (Stella Bamford)
"Amanda" (Gus Kusch) "ParkPark" (Parker Tirrell) "Isaiah" (Elijah Miller) |
SQUARE PEGS is a talented troupe of 13-18 year old improvisers and features scenes and games created by the actors as they go-- without a script! You may have seen the TV show Whose Line is it Anyway? This is similar to that... but LIVE in 3D!
SQUARE PEGS shows are a fast-paced, silly, interactive good time for the whole family-- no two shows are the same! The May 11th performance is in the Indoor Theatre (on the Steel Magnolias set!) the June 10th performance is in the Outdoor Amphitheatre |
Are you 13-18 years old and interested in auditioning for SQUARE PEGS?
The Winnipesaukee Playhouse Education Department is excited to announce its BRAND NEW Improv Comedy Troupe: SQUARE PEGS. Students ages 13-18 practice short form and (eventually) long form improv skills, learn improv games, and put on improv shows—while cultivating a base of adoring fans and rocketing to international stardom… all in the name of eventual world domination.
Individuals cast become part of the Education Department’s first resident troupe. That means it’s a continuing program. Once you’re in it, you can stay in it until you decide to leave or “age out.” We will hold auditions at the beginning of each semester to fill opens seats vacated as students leave.
Auditions for students ages 13-18 to fill open seats will be announced soon.

Spring Semester: February – June
Auditions in February // Rehearsals once a week
Summer Semester: July – August (only a four day commitment)
No Auditions – open to anyone enrolled in the preceding spring or fall
No weekly rehearsals. The troupe will do two shows, each preceded by a single rehearsal.
PERFORMANCES:
The troupe will have a minimum of two “home” performances at the Winnipesaukee Playhouse each semester. Additionally, there may be any number of off campus “gigs” in which the improv troupe represents the Education Department and the Playhouse at community events. Ideally, all currently enrolled students perform in the “home” performances. As gigs come up, we will ask enrolled students who are available to sign up to perform.
