March
HOW 'BOUT THIS?
Interactive, instant, improvised comedy. The audience choose which
scenes fly and which fall. You’ve never seen improvisers work so hard.
Directed by Jason Geary
SUPERSCENE
Improvisers fight to have their story be the story that reaches
completion. The audience decides which stories stay and which are
eliminated.
Directed by Mark Gambino
April
PIA ZADORA
Pia Zadora was a much maligned actress from the 1980s, who churned some
terrible films before marrying a millionaire and disappearing into an
awful music video with Jermaine Jackson (look it up on YouTube,
hilarious). This show, however, is a fully improvised hour of story and
characters – nothing like Ms Zadora really…
Directed by Lliam Amor
BROADWAY BOUND
A frustrated writer ... the dream of making it to the Great White Way
... hundreds of ideas on paper ... what combination will create the
perfect show and will it be ... Broadway Bound?

July
SUPER SCENE
Hot on the heals of the Impro Melbourne Rookie season of Super Scene comes the main stage production, this time incorporating both companies. Choose the story you want, eliminate those you don't. It's impro survivor at its best, where directors vie for their chance to direct the Super Scene.
Directed by Mark Gambino
ANTIQUES ROGUE SHOW
In the tradition of BBC classic, Antiques Road Show, Patrick Duffy and Impro Melbourne invite audience members to bring a family antique or treasured heirloom to each performance and watch as performers bring it to life. The history, the tales, the intrigue and mystery!
Directed by Patrick Duffy
August
STUCK IN THE MIDDLE
Theatre at its most hair-raising. Watch as a single actor stands their ground, centre stage for the entire show, while their fellow actors create a whirlwind of characters, genres and situations to put them through their paces.
Directed by Rik Brown
DUETS
The theatrical answer to history's greatest duos. Laurel and Hardy, Woodbridge and Woodforde, Dracula and Frankenstein; none of them will stand a chance, as two-person teams take the stage for 20-minute sets of pure theatrical invention. No lifeline, no help, and no mercy.
Directed by Jason Geary
September
BROADWAY BOUND
A writer. A genre. The Desire to create the next big Broadway sensation. And a troupe of actors to bring the writer's ideas to life. Watch as the writer fights to create the best version of their story they can. Instant rewrites; smash edits; new ideas! Will it work? Will they get a Tony Award or a Rasperberry? Will it be ... Broadway Bound?
Directed by Jenny Lovell
PIA ZADORA
Pia Zadora is hilarious long-form impro in which performers tell personal tales that provide inspiration for all the scenes. The cast includes Impro Melbourne's most accomplished performers - old and new, making this show a Sunday-night smash!
Directed by Lliam Amor
October
THEATRESPORTS

FAT CITY
A very special theatrical event, Fat City is long-form improvisational storytelling at its best. Come with us on a journey into the world of Fat City, where darkness inhabits the soul of ever person and the road to Hell is paved with good intentions.
Directed by Jason Geary
