Probationary Theatre Company presents

ShLong Form Improv

Creative storytelling & high energy improv!

All the way from Seoul, South Korea, ShLong Form Improv opens at the Victoria Fringe August 26th! SHort and LONG form improv have never been this much fun! It�s a different play every night, as the ShLongers make audience suggestions come to life with high-energy zaniness and amusing characters. Including favorites from Whose Line is it Anyway?, ShLong Form uses short form improv to inspire the characters, themes and storylines for long form improv. Featuring veteran improvisers from the Tokyo, Hong Kong, Beijing, Seoul and Colorado Improv Festivals!

Founded in 2000 in Australia, Probationary Theatre Company aims to create interesting & accessible theatre. PTC�s production of Sexual Perversity in Chicago opened at the Melbourne Fringe Festival to rave reviews, receiving a best Newcomer award (2000). Since then, PTC has produced a variety of shows and toured to various parts of Australia, receiving several awards, before moving its base to Seoul, South Korea. PTC soon joined forces with Seoul City Improv, Seoul�s premiere improv troupe. The �ShLongers� have been performing improv in Seoul for several years. They have toured throughout Korea, Taiwan, and have performed in multiple improv festivals around the world. ShLong Form Improv will tour to 8 Canadian Fringe Festivals, from Montreal to Vancouver in the summer of 2011.
