National Comedy Theatre’s (NCT) High School League is holding an improv comedy tournament for all high school participants on May 4 and 5, 2013. The winner of the competition will play against NCT’s main stage cast on Friday, May 11.
“The NCT High School League is a unique opportunity for high school students in San Diego to learn improv skills and theory, and to put it into practice with regular performances,” says Gary Kramer, founder and artistic director, National Comedy Theatre.
Beginning in September, each school is assigned a coach from the professional NCT team. Teams receive monthly training, and are free to schedule rehearsals every week after school. Every NCT High School League performance acts as a fund-raiser for the school’s own theatre department.
High schools involved in the 2013 NCT High School League include: Bishops, Point Loma, Francis Parker, La Jolla, Monarch, SCPA, Coronado and St. Augustine.
Tickets are $5 each for the High School League performances on May 4 and 5. Saturday’s performances are from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.; and on Sunday from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. For more information, contact the NCT Box Office at 619-295-4999, or visit www.nationalcomedy.com. Tickets are available at the door. National Comedy Theatre is located at 3717 India Street in Mission Hills.
