The Village Players of Lausanne

FROM THE AUDIENCE – “SAY IT AS IT IS”

11 readers volunteered to, first of all, read a text or poem that they had chosen. We had an interesting variety, including a 2-person sketch played by 1 person. Our readers were then asked to choose a random text provided by Barbara Balbo and Mike Scott and present it with barely any preparation. And, as if that wasn’t hard enough, they were then asked to read the same text but with a different presentation style e.g. as a child, as a gossip, naïvely, with authority….

Well done to all our readers who were extremely versatile and entertaining and thanks to Barbara and Mike for organizing this very original event.

“As You Like It – Open Mic” Clubnight on February 15th,  was a huge success!

In front of a large audience, almost twenty people performed songs, monologues, poems and texts on the Valentine’s theme.

Here are a couple of ambiance pictures….
