| Katy and Rach sitting in the same order as their name. |
We do share a thing with you guys, though. We like improv. On Phaelon, every city and hamlet has an improv theatre. That makes a total of two improv theatres on our planet. Awesome!
We booked these guys to come and play. Some day they'll develop light speed interstellar time-travel and they'll come and do the gig, but until then you get to enjoy them... so please do.
MUSIC BOX
and STORY BAG
Story Bag is a new long form show from a cast of awesome improvisers. Join them as they delve into some sort of satchel, and pull out a tale of pretty things and magic. With Susan Harrison, Amy Bailey, Nicola Kidner, Alex Fradera, Andrew Gentili, Michael Brunstrom, Dylan Buckle... and the power of their mighty minds.
They'll be followed by the excellent Music Box, improvising a full-fat musical with all the trimmings.

SPONTANEITY SHOP
and KATY & RACH
The 'Spon Shop' is London's leading improv training school. On Wednesday their Level 3 class will be putting everything they've learnt on to our stage at The Miller. Level 3 classes are by invite only, so it's bound to be a blast.
They'll be followed by the leviathanic genius of Katy Schutte (★★★★★ - Three Weeks) and Rachel Blackman (★★★★★ - Fringe Review) improvising a 1-hour comedy show about real life. “It’s like watching people fly”. They're like the British T.J. and Dave... Except one of them is Australian.

It's all pretty incredible down there on Earth. You're a lucky bunch of folk. Way more lucky that the Gargles on Gargle IV... they don't even have breathable air, let alone improv.
Count your blessings and get to a gig.
