Mona and Shara Do Improv – USA
Mona and Shara combine clowning, character, and storytelling to create an engaging style of improv. They have taught and performed in Norway, Finland, the Netherlands, and 21 cities around the United States and have been featured in a number of festivals including the Finland International Improv Festival, Ocean State Improv Festival (Rhode Island), SF Sketchfest, and the San Diego Improv Festival. When they aren’t traveling together, they live on opposite coasts, gracing a variety of improv classrooms and stages in Boston (Mona) and San Francisco (Shara). In the future, they hope to settle in the same place, but until that time, they eagerly look forward to the shows and workshops they get to do together.

Playing with the Enemy – Middle East
He is from an Arab country*. She’s from Israel. Their countries are enemies but luckily somehow they became friends. In this show, Zaki and Inbal share a unique improvisational experience with each other and with you. They combine their knowledge and cultures which are both similar and different, and they celebrate the possibility of performing together on neutral ground. The show will play with stigmas, political correctness, taboos and individualism and it will circle around and beyond those topics. But most importantly, Zaki and Inbal are going to do on stage what they are not allowed to do in real life – communicate, play, create.
*Zaki’s country cannot be disclosed due to security reasons.

The Ferocious Four – Netherlands
The Ferocious Four – an improvised tale of action, power and heroines. A talented cast of performers will give you a bad-ass improv show, in which the story is told of a group of 4 heroines collaborating to battle evil. If you like cool characters and exciting action, you will love seeing these performers jump, move, chase, defuse, fight and basically… Kick ass.
