The new year is here and with it a new season of shows for IRTE! We have an exciting, fresh new line-up of shows and a couple of not-so-new faces joining our ranks this season! So say "hello" to the 2014 cast!
Returning as a regular cast member this season is the lovely and talented Alex Decaneas! Alex is a founding member of IRTE and we're thrilled to have him with us again this season! We sat down with Alex for a chat.
What do you love most about IRTE?
The affordable healthcare benefits. Other than that it is a great opportunity to work with very talented improvisers on a variety of show concepts over the course of the year.
What are your thoughts on this season's cast?
This season's cast is going to come out of the gate strong, in like lions, out like ligers. Rather than tiring in the third period, they will soldier on, force the play to the net, and work the box. I'm very into sport analogies.
What are some memorable moments from last season?
Last year at the Del Close Marathon I did an entire set with my fly down. You're welcome.
Who are some of your favorite IRTE characters?
Jamie was doing a Clique show as a young hot Russian Orthodox priest, who's every word made the school children swoon. That made me snort quite often… which was hard to hide onstage. Everyone loves Chompers from The Groovy Gang. He's a talking alligator with costume included! Barbara (voiced by Nanette's clarinet skill), Curt's avairy sidekick through the apocalypse was particularly amusing as well.
What are you most looking forward to this season?
Laughing on and off stage with some of the finest improv family I have had the pleasure to perform with. IRTE is a fun group with strong talent and their shows are fun for all. Looking forward to every performance.
Thanks Alex! We're thrilled to have you back with us this season!
