Bad Dog Theatre Presents: Animated!
Friday, July 14th at 4:45 pm at the George Ignatieff Theatre (15 Devonshire Pl)
An improv show that brings your objects to life! Animated! pays homage to the world of Pixar by creating a fully improvised animated movie. Each show is inspired by an everyday object that the audience wants to see brought to life onstage. From the audience suggestion, the cast creates a detailed imaginary world where these inanimate objects move and speak and have a life of their own. Every show is a different adventure, always following our heroes as they work together to overcome the “bad guys” threatening them. (Ages 8+)
