"The name of our group, The EDGE, came from a discussion about improvisational performing. I started to "get it" after a horrible scene where we stood on the edge of a volcano and talked about jumping. I later realized that a scene doesn't really start until you jump. The fun, the craziness, the oddities all happen during freefall. To me, good improv is fun in freefall." - Ken Ballenger

The EDGE Improv
20th Anniversary Season presented by
Rolling Bay Cafe!
The EDGE Improv has performed to sell-out crowds regularly at BPA for two decades, and this season marks their 20th anniversary. On the first Saturday of each month, the troupe presents an ingeniously improvised evening of on-the-spot comedy, all from audience suggestions. The troupe's riotous antics have earned a devoted community of followers, and have inspired rave reviews and commentary from audience and troupe members alike.

"We can't do it without you so please help us; otherwise the stage manager will have to call a halt to the proceedings and present her pet cat in her version of Of Mice and Men. Mostly mice." - Frank Buxton
