Teen Laughing Matter Improv

Come join us for a night of comedy and add your own spin to any scene performed by Clark Theatre's own comedy improv troupe, Laughing Matter. Its comedy the whole family can enjoy!

What happens at a Laughing Matter Improv show? It is interactive theatre with audience participation-in fact, it's the audience who makes the performance happen. Improvisation is theatre of the moment and the moment is always something to laugh at. If you like "Whose Line is it Anyway" or "Second City", you'll love Tulsa's version!

Preteen is April 18 at 2 pm
Tickets for each show are $5 and
reservations can be made by calling (918) 746-5065.

The newest comedy improv troupe in town has a familiar name. Clark Theatre is proud to announce another performance of Clark's own Laughing Matter.

Clark Laughing Matter was formed in September of 05 from a group of teens who had been performing in plays together at Clark Youth Theatre for the last several years. Since then, a number of other teens have joined the group. "We wanted to give the kids time to get used to the rapid fire give and take of comedy improv," says Frank Gallagher, "Most of them are already experienced performers, they just needed some time with the new format."

The new troupe takes its name from the oldest Imrpov group in town. The original Laughing Matter was formed 22 years ago, and continues to perform regularly at Heller Theatre. The same people that run Heller now also run Clark. "It was a natural to begin a new Laughing Matter with these dedicated young actors," says Gallagher.

Clark Theatre is part of the Park and Recreation Department of the City of Tulsa.
