BricHouse Players IMPROV @ Trinity
WED, APR 24 7:30p
Eric Carsten is the owner/founder of Bric Entertainment Inc.,
the fuel behind the Bric Players. His first improv endeavors
were as a wee 18-year-old boy with no theatre experience.
Now as a robust man--and still no formal theatre experience--he
is considered the Kung Fu-Prov Master. Don't cross him! Eric
is bound to spit fire, sic his 400-lb. cat on you and finish
off his combo attack with a crescent kick!
