Baldwin Players Improvisational Troupe Performs March 5 – 7 at ABAC

 

TIFTON - The Baldwin Players of Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College will perform improvisational comedy March 5 - 7 at 7:30 p.m. each night in Room 319 of Conger Hall on the ABAC campus. Admission is free for ABAC students, faculty and staff each; all others will be charged a $5 admission fee.

Dr. John Galyean, a faculty member in the ABAC Division of Humanities who directs the Baldwin Players, said this year’s improv company is called “Outside the Box.”  All the performers are ABAC students and alumni. The show will feature approximately 10 sketches with a total run time of about an hour.

Performers involved with the evening of comedy are Russell Taylor, an ABAC alumnus from Moultrie; Leslie Avalos of Moultrie; Stephanie Mathis from Nashville; Braxtal Moody of Barney; Mia Danford from West Point; William Q. Lewis of Blakely, Lauren Woods from Tifton, and Jason Shealey of Fitzgerald.

 “We hope the audience members will call out things we ask for, like relationships such as brothers or cowboys and locations such as Disney World or the dark side of the moon,” Galyean said. “Without audience suggestions, there’s no sketch. The audience is the engine which drives the improv machine.  Come be a part of live theatre and live improv at ABAC!” 

 For more information, call Galyean at (229) 391-4960 or email jgalyean@abac.edu.
