    “Innovation at any cost. Consequences TBD.”

    The Impronauts new long form show, Craic’ed Mirror, is coming to a Corpus Playroom near you!

    An improvised comedy of tech issues…and summoning the IT guy won’t fix it. Triumphant new technology—sleek, smart, life-changing, chosen by you for you. But progress has a price. As the tech takes hold, the cracks begin to show. Join us on an expedition into the world of new technology, we’ll guide you through all the joys it can bring—but perhaps that shiny new toy has just the tiniest crack in its surface.

    What if all your devices could show you only good news, and filter out all the bad? What if an implant could always tell you when someone is lying? What if your AI dating coach secretly wanted to keep you single and using its services forever?

    Every night you will be pitched the next big billion-dollar tech breakthrough and get to bear witness to how it falls apart.

    This production is suitable for ages 16 and over.

    Late at night, an eggshell cracks and a mysterious creature emerges…what is it? You decide!

    In the style of Little Shop of Horrors, Gremlins or ET, see this strange creature change the lives of the people around them. Come and choose what hatches from this egg, and what it desires above all else. Maybe it’s a dinosaur with a passion for fine arts? A jelly baby plotting to take over the world? Or simply a squid man who just wants to go to prom…

    Whatever you pick, your creation is bound to plunge our characters and their mundane lives into glorious, improvised, chaos.

    This production is suitable for ages 12 and over.

    Lights, Camera, Improvisation!

    Poster for Lights, Camera, Improvisation: The Improvised Making of an (also improvised) Motion Picture. The title is emblazoned on a large clapperboard, with text reading 'take 369' (the previous few takes being crossed out). Around the clapperboard is a scene of general chaos. A man is dangling perilously from the edge of the clapperboard. A man and a woman are embracing on top. In front of the board, a romance scene is being filmed in front of a green screen between a princess and an alien. In front is a boom operator holding a boom with his arm in a cast, and a director sat in an Impronauts-branded chair, sorting through papers reading 'Court Order' and 'Letter of Bankruptcy'. A car is swerving out of control towards the set. In the background, something is on fire.
