Rollins Improv Players
Rollins Improv Players (R.I.P.) is an improvisational theatre troupe now celebrating 20 years on campus. RIP performs short-form shows a la "Whose Line Is It Anyway?" as well as long-form, one-act plays inspired by your suggestions. Most shows take place in the Sally K. Albrecht Studio Theatre inside the Tiedtke Theatre and Dance Centre.
The mission of Rollins Improv Players is to create improvisational theatre that expresses challenging and provocative subject matter; to represent the dramatic and comedic aspects of student life and beyond; to dare ourselves and our audiences to grow, think, and act; and to serve Rollins College as a conduit for discussion and discovery, experimentation, play, laughter and community.
Improvientation
New to Rollins? You'll see R.I.P. perform before you start classes. As part of orientation, our improvisers present a signature show, developed and directed by the troupe's artistic director, Dr. David Charles. Improvientation weaves together monologues and scenes drawn from audience suggestions that playfully – and perhaps poignantly – explore all the feelings, fears and expectations that come with the start of college life.
Spring 2025 Schedule
All performances are inside the Sally K. Albrecht Studio Theatre inside the Tiedtke Theatre and Dance Centre unless otherwise noted.
