Notes
In this game players are given a large assortment of random sentences provided by the audience. The audience then gives them context for a scene such as an everyday situation, a profession or an unusual scenario. Players must improvise from the information provided and periodically pull out the slips of paper and incorporate the sentence into the scene. This is done to the greatest effect when the players either pull out their slips white the other player is speaking, or playing off the fact that they are reading something. Things such as ‘look at this sweet love note my honey left this morning’ or ‘look at what my eviction notice says’ works well.
