SCRIPTED SERENDIPITY (AND THE LACK THEREOF)!

by Just Javi & Kylle (The Philippines)

Just Javi & Kylle (JJK) truly met at a script reading, supposed to last under an hour. Several hours later, they found themselves having chatted about everything but the script they were supposed to read! An unplanned celebration of like-minds. 

JJK brings the drama, hilarity, and potential chaos of what memorizing lines or reading texts aloud can bring to the improv stage. Watch as these two improviser love birds discover meaning between lines and limits with scripted serendipity, because sometimes, in the walls we put ourselves in is where we find moments that feel like magic.

⚫︎ PERFORMERS

Javier Dalupan San Andres. Kylle Columna.

DIAZ

international cast

Diaz is fun. Diaz is true. Diaz will turn stories into sillies. Diaz likes ice cream. Diaz is Zaid.

Diaz begins with a story, but never ends there. With the Armando format, a famous long-form popularized by Upright Citizens Brigade and improvOlympic, this cast of seasoned improvisers from the US, SG, and PH takes each tale as inspiration and claws their way into the very meat of what makes any story unexpected—wild, heartfelt, funny, and real.

⚫︎ PERFORMERS

Luke Yu. Mary Gileva. Sabrina Manansala. Sarah Claspell.
