Time of Your Life is a full-length, improvised musical based on an audience member’s life. Here's how it works...

PRE-SHOW: AUDIENCE INTERVIEWS

As audience members find their seats, they are greeted by members of the Time of Your Life cast armed with a stack of blue cards and a pen. The actors will ask each audience member if they would like to have their life performed as a musical production and conduct a brief interview. The audience member will be asked about his/her childhood, a special achievement or a memorable moment, current occupation and a goal or dream yet to be accomplished.

The cast will make every attempt to meet with each audience member before showtime. Audience participation is strictly voluntary.

SHOWTIME: WARM UP AND AUDIENCE MEMBER SELECTION

The show will begin with a brief introduction from the host of Time of Your Life followed by a song performed by the entire cast. The cast will then perform two or three short improvisational games, similar to the skits performed on the television show "Whose Line Is It Anyway?" These improvisational games will require audience suggestions as taken from the stage. So, as always, audience members are asked to shout their suggestions loudly and with courage!
At the conclusion of the final improvisational game, a hat is produced filled with the blue cards from the preliminary interviews. An audience volunteer is then asked to draw a card with the name of the lucky audience member whose life will be featured in this evening’s performance. The host will then introduce the audience member and proceed to recount the preliminary interview questions regarding childhood memories, but this time the entire audience will be able to hear the responses.

ACT 1: THE FORMATIVE YEARS

After a brief overture, the cast will recreate the audience member’s childhood and memorable moment, as a musical, as described in the onstage interview. This generally takes about thirty minutes*, and is followed by an intermission.

ACT 2: CURRENT ACTIVITIES AND FUTURE ASPIRATIONS

After intermission, the host returns to the stage and continues the second half of the onstage interview detailing the current occupation and lifetime goal of the featured audience member. After a brief overture, the cast will recreate the audience member’s current life and lifelong ambition, as a musical, as described in the onstage interview, followed by a show-stopping finale. This generally takes about forty-five minutes*.

* The duration of Time of Your Life performances can be customized to accommodate any event schedule - from a full-length, two-hour performance (with intermission) to a fast-paced, fifteen-minute showcase.
