Bonfire 2013
RAPID FIRE THEATRE PRESENTS: BONFIRE!
APRIL 9 – 14, 2013
CITADEL THEATRE (9828 101 A AVE.)
2nd Annual BONFIRE Festival
http://
Rapid Fire Theatre is proud to announce the 2nd annual BONFIRE Festival celebrating long-form improv. The BONFIRE Festival runs from Tuesday, April 9th until Sunday April 14th at the Citadel Theatre.
Watch all your favourites from the RFT Ensemble experiment with long-form improv formats as they bring something completely new to Edmonton’s improv scene!
“A bonfire is a place where we share stories with loved ones, and the 2nd annual BONFIRE Festival will continue this nocturnal tradition, bringing people together to share ideas and laughs,” RFT Artistic Director Amy Shostak says. “With BONFIRE, we seek to revisit some of the staples of long-form improvisation, while allowing our ensemble to explore improv territories unknown!”
Rapid Fire sends performers to international festivals year-round, where they experience tons of great long-form improv. BONFIRE allows us to bring some of these great ideas home to Edmonton. Regardless of where the idea originates, it will all be brand new to our audiences.
