Improvising post-COVID laughs
After more than a year of lockdowns and quarantines, we probably all could use some laughs, like the ones promised in “Life’s a Beach,” which marks the return to live performances by FST Improv. The company is back on the stage of Bowne’s Lab, taking audience suggestions and turning them into scenes and musical numbers that celebrate and satirize life in Sarasota. The production will be presented at 7:30 p.m. Saturdays beginning this weekend. Improv director Will Luera said it’s a good time to revisit the show as Sarasota “is starting to poke its head out of its shell after the pandemic and we can all benefit from coming together and laughing at the ridiculous things we’ve all experienced since last spring.” Luera is joined by troupe members Kevin Allen, Sarah Durham and Kyle Van Frank and musical improvisers Sergei Glushonkov and Michelle Neal.
