ONGOING OFF-BROADWAY HIT!
In this hilarious interactive performance, the ISC creates a fully improvised play in Elizabethan style to bring you an evening of off-the-cuff comedy using the language and themes of William Shakespeare. Any hour could be filled with power struggles, star-crossed lovers, sprites, kings, queens, princesses, sword-play, rhyming couplets, asides, insults, persons in disguise and all that we’ve come to expect from the pen of the Great Bard. Nothing is planned-out, rehearsed, or written. Each play is completely improvised, so each play is entirely new

Featured at the prestigious Just For Laughs festival in Montreal, ISC was recently honored by the Chicago Improv Foundation as its “Ensemble of the Year”.

A versatile studio percussionist and nightclub/TV personality in Toronto, Peter moved to Canada in 1951 as a drummer and soon turned to the vibraphone.

Appleyard’s TV shows included the CBC’s Mallets and Brass (1969, with flugelhornist Guido Basso) and the syndicated Peter Appleyard Presents (1977-80). Appleyard, who has conducted his Canadian career with a keen instinct for popular tastes, has recorded several light-instrumental albums, including Swing Fever (1982), as well as the jazz CDs Barbados Heat and Barbados Cool (1990). His version of The Lincolnshire Poacher was a pop hit in the early 1970s. Appleyard has worked abroad with Benny Goodman, Dick Hyman, Mel Tormé, Bob Wilber and other noted US jazz musicians. He was made an Officer in the Order of Canada in 1992.
