Coming out of your shell: how improv inspired change in these teens

HUNTSVILLE — Muskoka youth are creative and can think on their feet, but now it’s time to prove it in their own backyard.

The Canadian Improv Games are coming to Huntsville’s Algonquin Theatre on Feb. 16 for the regional finals. The event will bring students from high schools around the region to compete for a spot in the national finals in Ottawa.

One of G.P. Vanier’s senior improv teams claimed the top spot in Vancouver Island improv and is preparing to head to Ottawa for nationals.

The gold vest clad team, named Invested, scored a first place finish at the Canadian Improv Games Vancouver Island regional finals held at Esquimalt High School on Feb. 15, something the team members had never achieved before.
