In association with the Australian New Zealand Impro Collective, Wellington Improvisation Troupe presents Impro Unwrapped - an international goodwill project that invites audience members to bring along a gift to put under the on-stage Christmas Tree.
We will randomly select and unwrap gifts during the show. The unwrapped gifts will be the inspiration for our Christmas stories and songs all made up on the spot, without a script, without a rehearsal, live before your very eyes! At the end of the night, gifts will be re-wrapped and donated to the fine folk at Wellington City Mission to pass on to those less fortunate, in addition to all proceeds from this performance.
A Christmas Cracker is presented by Wellington Improvisation Troupe (WIT), Wellington’s not-for-profit, community-based improvisational theatre group. WIT performs and teaches the skills of improvisational theatre at community venues around the Wellington region.
Impro Unwrapped, the brainchild of Cale Bain and Glenn Hall is being presented across Australia and New Zealand, throughout December by the Australian New Zealand Impro Collective, to collect gifts and raise funds for charity. The Australian New Zealand Impro Collective is Impro Australia (Sydney), Impro Melbourne, Impro Mafia (Brisbane), Impro ACT (Canberra), On The Fly Impro (Adelaide), Just Improvise (Perth) and Wellington Improvisation Troupe (NZ).
