Wild Heart Acres @ Montreal Improv
Follow the Stanley family’s quest to overcome misfortune and build a new life on the frontier. Follow their trials and triumphs and those of their neighbours as they chase their dreams in a place called Wild Heart Acres.
Wild Heart Acres is a new kind of improv show. There are no story lines prepared whatsoever. Each episode will be entirely improvised in the moment, inspired by audience suggestions. Between January and May, a new installment will be presented each month.
