<\/a>Sin City provides a unique platform for theatre: it\u2019s neither a play nor an improvised skit, but rather a best-of-both-world combination.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a completely different format. Most improv is a three-minute scene where a director comes out and asks for a suggestion, and they do a game or a scene based on that suggestion. We\u2019re long-form storytelling. So we choose a setting, we play the same characters from week to week, and the story begins, and it continues every week for a number of shows,\u201d says Van Ritzen.<\/p>\n
The show is in its fourth year in Victoria and this year\u2019s theme is Kingdom of Thrones<\/i>. The show is set in the Middle Ages and the characters populate a medieval castle. The show’s past seasons have been quite successful bringing in patrons of all ages, according to Van Ritzen.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe always have an interesting mixture in our audience. They range from students up to seniors, and there\u2019s always a really hardcore group that loves to come each week and they make friends with each other and it becomes a social evening out,\u201d she says. \u201cThere\u2019s always a couple of tables of people coming for their first week out. It\u2019s not as formal as going to a play; there\u2019s a bar, so it\u2019s a nice social evening.\u201d<\/p>\n
