“Luck of the Draw,” a completely improvised Broadway-style musical, opens tonight at Chattanooga State Community College.
Created and directed by Sherry Landrum, the production features the Chattanooga State Repertory Theatre, “a cast of fearless actors performing death-defying feats of improvisatory acumen.”
Their improvisation is entirely audience-determined, so it’s never the same show twice.
“The audience fills out cards before the show — a line of dialogue, a song title, a location,” Landrum said. “The actors use these cards at anytime in the first act. During intermission, the audience fills out a new set of cards based on what happened in the first act. The whole musical is created by the luck of the draw.”
