Improvisation is a performance phenomenon that took off in the 1950′s at Chicago’s Second City, and has grown ever since. Most people recognize improvisation from the television show “Whose Line Is it Anyway?” In improvisation, the performers take suggestions from the audience, and improvise – that is to say, completely make up from scratch – scenes and scenarios based on those suggestions. The Stage Monkeys also feature a keyboardist playing live improvised music to accompany the scenes. The style of the Stage Monkeys is often intellectually stimulating while providing belly laughs at the same time.
The Stage Monkeys are comprised of some of the best and brightest improvisers to come out of UL Lafayette. The members have had extensive experience, averaging ten years of improvisation apiece. The current cast of The Stage Monkeys of Lafayette are:
Elaine Kibodeaux, Steve Benelli, Nico Zaunbrecher, Jude Duhon, Sarah Mikayla Brown, Rick Manuel, Jason Petitjean, Andrew Lee, and Candice Benelli.
All shows are on Wednesdays, starting at 7:30pm. Tickets are $7 (or $5 with a valid Student ID.)
