Episode 466. Creating ‘Improv Zombies’

“IMG_0879Creating shows using improv is not something the RSC does, but Reed Martin has used the Second City model to devise with his students a new show called Improv Zombies From Hell at Napa Valley College. With one weekend left in the run, Reed talks about how the show came together, using improv games, stupid human tricks, audience participation, trial and error, film research, acknowledgement of zombies’ evergreen nature, and how a zombie story can pair The Walking Dead with Whose Line Is It Anyway. (Length 16:08)
