Adding a bit of spunk to chilly evenings on the Highlands plateau, the Instant Theatre Company will presents a new series: “Evenings of Little Entertainments.”

A collection of scenes, improvisational comedy, live music, monologues and other surprises produced in The ITC’s new Studio on Main — a 40-seat blackbox theatre at Oak Square on Main Street — “Evenings of Little Entertainments” are made to involve the community.

“This show is going to be the hottest ticket in town,” said Paul Black after a Feb. 4 preview performance.

Black had been selected out of the audience that evening to contribute to the “Stump the Band” segment, in which The ITC’s house band creates an improvised song after being given a genre of music and a brief biography from a randomly chosen audience member.

A large portion of the evening features improvisational comedy, similar to the popular television program “Who’s Line is it Anyway?”

In addition to improv and music, “Little Evenings” also features original scenes written by ITC’s Artistic Director Emeritus Collin Wilcox Paxton. Titled “Snapshots” because of their brevity, company members will rehearse one or two scenes throughout the week and perform them every Friday.

A new performance of “Evenings of Little Entertainments” plays every Friday evening at 8 p.m. Tickets are $15, which includes complimentary wine and/or soft drinks. For more information or to reserve tickets call 828.342.9197 or visit www.InstantTheatre.org.
