“Can I use my gun?” Marilyn Cato asked her comrade while on the lookout for Nazi soldiers.
“I’ve been shot!” shouted Geovanni Mactavious, as he hid behind an imaginary fort in their spontaneous improvisation developed on stage at the Eileene L. Parsons Auditorium on Saturday.
The actors had managed to make an engaging story, despite two of them being limited to just two lines of dialogue that had been drawn from a basket.
The war comedy was one of several short unscripted plays staged during the Elmore Stoutt High School Drama Society’s Improv Night.
About 60 people attended the event, where audience members were given a choice at the door: write their name and place it in a basket if they wished to participate on stage, or write a random phrase and place it in a different basket for the actors to use in one of their performances.
