I was on stage at the armory last friday as fodder for a Portland improve group called Super Project Lab.
Our show Meet Your_______! asks members of the community to stand up in front of an audience and share true stories from their lives.
It was strange and surreal to watch actors play out absurd moments from my life.
My Instructions
Please arrive at the theater at 7.30 PM the night of your show. The theater address is 128 NW 11th ( on the corner of Davis and 11th).
You will enter in the main lobby and one of our amazing guest liaisons will be there to meet you and walk you through the details of the show.
Before the show, we will warm up together, show you how the show works, and answer any questions you might have.
When the show starts, you are introduced to the audience and we will ask for a suggestion to inspire a true life story or experience from you (in the past guests have asked for an occupation, a life changing event, etc)
The audience yells out their ideas and when you hear one that inspires you, you tell a true story from your life based on the suggestion ( we would encourage you to connect your story in some way to how you are being described for the evenings shows, example: for the first evening with Meet Your King and Queen we will encourage the guests to talk about their experiences as a Homecoming King/high school and Beauty Queen/pagent experiences, rather then talk about something that is not related to those things whatsoever) .
This is a 2-3 minute monologue about anything you want to talk about. This does not have to be funny or clever, it just has to be true.
