Fall is a great time to experience the city of Los Angeles. If you are staying in beach hotels in Los Angeles before Thanksgiving, you can make
your trip memorable by attending one of the two plays at the Odyssey Theatre on South Sepulveda Boulevard. All performances are completely different as they are unscripted. You can watch a never before seen Chekhovian play called “Chekhov Unscripted” or recall one of your classic favorites in the Twilight Zone inspired “Twilight Unscripted.”
“Chekhov Unscripted” is a work by Impro Theatre, inspired by the one and only Anton Chekhov. The emotive characters of Chekhov’s plays are brought to life with Impro Theatre’s comic genius. As a member of the audience you can make suggestions to help the Impro Theatre create an all new play before your eyes!
“Twilight Zone Unscripted” will send the audience into another dimension each night as the cast explores the fantastical world of the unknown by improvising Twilight Zone inspired episodes with audience input.
The artists of Impro Theatre create completely improvised, full-length plays in the styles of some of the world’s greatest playwrights, authors and composers. Each performance is unlike every other as shows are not pre-planned with scenarios. The group simply researches specific artists and genres and performs based on audience suggestions. The group has won awards and rave reviews from Goldstar.com customers, LA Weekly and the LA times. They have performed to sold-out crowds at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival in Ashland, the Melborne Fringe in Austrailia and many more prestigious venues around the world.
“Twilight Zone Unscripted” is running at 8pm Wednesdays through Saturdays and Sundays at 2pm. “Chekhov Unscripted” is running alternate weeks until November 4. Don’t miss your chance to see this one-of-a-kind show!
