Lethbridge improv troupe the Drama Nutz are undergoing their “four year shake-up,” by holding 
auditions tonight at 7-9 p.m. at Fort Whoop Up.
“ After four years , people graduate, move on with their lives, get married and get jobs,” said Drama Nutz general manager David Gabert, emphasizing while most Drama Nutz members are university students, membership isn't just for students. Anybody who can be spontaneously funny in stage at a variety of community events like open mics, corporate gigs and community gatherings.
So they welcome students as well as community theatre members or just people who haven’t done theatre in a long time and who want to get back into it.
“The Drama Nutz will be performing at Word on The Street, Sept. 21 for Arts Days and at a special cabaret at CASA, Sept. 25 in the middle of Arts Days.
They are also booking corporate gigs and Christmas parties and will be hosting the comedy pen mic at Jimmy’s Pub and Brasserie on the last Saturday of every month — Sept. 27 this month. They recently performed at the Galt Museum's beer Tasting night and hope to work with the Galt museum again.
In October, once they have their new cast, they have a couple of interesting regular events including a regular monthly improvised soap opera at Club Didi as well as their always popular Uncensored Improv.
Cast members will get a cut of the proceeds from all paid gigs.
“ We want to show people that the arts can be fun and entertaining in the community,” Gabert said.
“ We want people to go out and help in the community and give back,” he said adding new cast members should have improvisational skills and the ability to think on their feet while offering a unique perspective.
“ So far it’s just me. I’m looking for new people and a cast full of new faces and new energy. It’s going to be exciting,” he said adding the troupe performs predominately local shows though they have a corporate gig coming up in the Crowsnest Pass.
Auditions are 7-9 p.m. at Fort Whoop Up , Wednesday, Sept. 10. If you are unable to make that, e-mail
