Saturday 7:15pm ✶ from San Francisco, CA
CAST
Diana Brown
Radhika Rao
Michael (Mick) Shaffer
This troupe came to be one night at Leela Theatre in San Francisco when one of the groups scheduled to appear couldn't attend. Radhika, Diana and Michael were all appearing in another project. When the producers learned of the cancellation, they asked Diana and Radhika to appear as a Shakespearean duo to fill in for the missing troupe. They agreed and asked Michael to join them as their Music Director. They played and slayed and were invited back to play again and yet again. Now they're taking Gamesome Frolic on the road! In addition to playing in the San Francisco Bay Area, Gamesome Frolic appeared on the Countdown Improv Festival MainStage in 2023 and 2024. We're playing in an artistic style inspired by William Shakespeare. We seek to explore the human condition, the visceral needs that drive us. And to play the moments truthfully, whether comedic or dramatic. Our set is based on the audience's suggestions of a season, an emotion and an element. Gamesome Frolic is Diana Brown, Radhika Rao and Music Director Michael Shaffer. All three are trained theatre actors and improv artists.
