Shane EvansLaughter filled the theater as “The Rare Bird Show” took the stage on Thursday, April 21. The group performed after the preview of the fall musical “Trixie True Teen Detective.”
The group was an immense crowd pleaser, as they took various suggestions from the audience. Some of the suggestions included mermaids and roller skates.
There are two forms of improv: long form and short form. The easiest way to distinguish between the two is that long-form improv depends on one suggestion from the audience, and short-form improv is dictated by many suggestions from the audience. “The Rare Bird Show” relies on this long-form improv to carry out their unstaged performance.
“The Rare Bird Show” includes Matt Holmes, who graduated from Cabrini College in 2002. He was part of a short-form improv group while attending Cabrini known as “On the Spot.”
