Book Club (2018) - Any book can change your life. Coming of Age(d)

This show explores how what we read changes who we become. With each performance, after a detailed interview with the audience about the last book they read, Book Club (2018) starts their show with the first meeting of their monthly book club. As they make their way through the book, with periodic club meetings punctuated throughout the show, the improvisers explore how embodying the themes, morals, and revelations of the “get” book helps their characters grow and come of age– any age.

Bad Dog Theatre, in collaboration with Sex-T-Rex, present the return of Blockbuster Week from March 24 to 31, 2023 - a festival of improvised comedies celebrating movies and television in a live, unscripted setting! Some of the best improvisers in Toronto will perform their takes on film and television genres, popular hits, and cult classics.

Blockbuster Week returns for the first time since 2018, and celebrates a triumphant homecoming to Bad Dog Theatre’s former home at 875 Bloor Street West. The company was forced to vacate the space during the pandemic, and looks forward to filling the space with laughter once again.
