Synopsis

101 More Improv Games for Children and Adults: A Smart Fun Book for Ages 5 and Up is the follow-up to Bob Bedore’s popular 101 Improv Games for Children and Adults. This sequel takes us even deeper into the craft of improv — the magical art of creating something out of nothing — with all new games!

Author Bob Bedore emphasizes how you can use improvisation, creativity, and teamwork any time, any place, to get your imagination flowing, win over a crowd, or be a wittier conversationalist. Actors and improv students will appreciate the author's fun, down-to-earth approach to developing theater craft. And improv isn't only for serious thespians. Used as a classroom activity, it teaches kids how to have fun, relax, and work together without seeming like an educational tool at all.

Great on its own or as a companion to Bedore’s first book, 101 More Improv Games for Children and Adults is centered around entertaining an audience and creating memorable scenes. This sequel includes information on how to produce your own improv show.

101 More Improv Games for Children and Adults is full of wacky and brilliant activities for kids, teachers, actors, comedians, improv groups, or anyone else.

About the Author:

Bob Bedore has 20 years of improv experience, and has toured as a stand-up comedian, hosted a live Saturday morning kids show, spent a dozen years as a radio disc jockey, appeared in movies, and owned and operated several theaters. He has also written 20 plays and a few screenplays. In 1994, Bob founded the improv comedy troupe Quick Wits.

Review:

"Bob Bedore may not have created improv, but as far as Utah is concerned, he did. There wouldn't be any improv seen without Quick Wits." — The Event Magazine

"Even with all the competition it's created for itself, Quick Wits still remains the top of the heap in Utah Improv." — City Weekly — Best of Utah Issue

"Bob's classes are always the first to fill up. The kids just love him." — Anne Oakeson, Director, University of Utah's Theater School for Youth
