The Wishing Tree
Following a popular season in 2009, the Wellington Improvisation Troupe (WIT) is bringing The Wishing Tree to the Garden
Club.
Based on a Japanese myth of love, luck and fate, The Wishing Tree has been performed around the world from Belgium to
Seattle, inspiring performers and audiences alike.
Director Christine Brooks describes the concept as “a different kind of improv. A lot of Improv shows are a bit of fun,
but can end up b...eing pretty disposable, like a comedy version of a one night stand. The Wishing Tree creates
improvised theatre that I want to remember in the morning”.
Wishes, supplied anonymously by the audience, are brought to life by the improvisers, providing the inspiration for
scenes where the wishes unfold – sometimes for good, sometimes for ill and sometimes just for a laugh.
Starring WIT regulars Christine Brooks, Derek Flores, Ralph McCubbin Howell, Merrilee McCoy, Mark Scott, Simon Smith and
Paul Sullivan.
