SYNOPSIS: An unlikely “cast” of college-aged Improv actors hired to star in a reality tv show are abandoned in Europe when their shady production company goes bankrupt, forcing them to learn how to improvise together, both on-stage and off. Complete with hijinks, a heist, and heartfelt moments, the diverse group must find their own way across the continent to an international Improv festival, finding themselves along the way.

NOTE: We seek actors that are ensemble-based, adept with improv and comedy. Every effort will be made to have a cast that accurately represents our characters and is reflective of the world we live in with regard to race, size, ability, diversity, and gender identification.

Must be a Montreal/Quebec local.
