Freefall Improvisational Theater bridges conventional dramatic theater and comedy improvisation in its unscripted, 100% improvised creation
of unique long-form pieces. Unlike most improv performances consisting of 10 to 15 short, unrelated scenes in a night, long-form improv takes its time. Each freefall starts with an improvised movement piece and unfolds to involve multiple characters, story lines and settings, with each actor playing many roles in each show.

ALL ABOUT THEATRE: BANG BANG, YOU’RE DEAD
by William Mastrosimone
Friday- Sundays, June 13-22, 2008
Tickets and Information at http://www.allabouttheatre.org

This play was made to show and end violence and teasing between teenagers in schools. When the play was performed for the first time, more than 100,000 downloads from internet occurred of the video play and many other schools around the world began to perform the play. The play centers on the lead character Josh, a teenage boy who shoots his parents and five schoolmates, and is then haunted by physical manifestations of his memories of them. Bang Bang You`re Dead was written in the wake of the school massacres that occurred in Paducah, Jonesboro, and Springfield to raise awareness about school violence. It supports the school violence charity Ribbon of Promise.
