“Multiple Personality Disorder” Dreamcatcher

Rep has its own improv comedy troupe called

MULTIPLE PERSONALITY DISORDER. This

unpredictable evening is affordable, fun, and

packed with laughs from start to finish. The show

includes improvisational comedy sketches like

those seen on the popular television show, "Whose

Line Is It Anyway?" and uses audience

suggestions to shape the scenes that the actors

instantly create onstage. Performers use

ingredients such as everyday objects, strange

maladies, and unusual circumstances to cook up

unconventional mini-plays that appear and

disappear in a matter of minutes
