The Human Test Subjects

This show was HILARIOUS. The performers are really good at doing what they do, especially when they get good suggestions from the audience (and even not-so-good ones!), and the meaning behind their forming of a troupe is inspiring as well. Try and catch this show if you can--it's one of the funniest improv groups I've seen. The transitions were sometimes a bit awkward and not quite so smooth, which detracted from the pace ever-so-slightly, but they more than made up for it during their games--I couldn't stop laughing.... full review

I loved it! One of their goals, stated at the top of the show, is to remove the stigma of mental illness. Each actor shared a bit of herself with the audience and from that moment on, actor and audience were a team. And mental illness and creativity are often very closely linked, furthering their mission. They made us laugh, and they made us remember their stories.

Lovely to see these women doing what they love. The group is tight and the show was a lot of fun. Then, when you hear their stories and why they get together, the evening takes on more meaning. Thank you for sharing!... full review

Glad I caught this show. ... full review

Personally, I think I'm spoiled because the only improv artists I usually see are those who've made it into something like stardom. Which is not fair. It is as if the only actors you've ever seen are the likes of Helen Mirren, Alan Rickman, etc. performing established classics! So I had to adjust myself a bit to the freshness and relatively unpolished nature of this troupe. Once I did, I had a very nice time indeed!... full review
