Canada’s biggest high school improv tournament is happening this week at the National Arts Centre in Ottawa. It’s known as the Canadian Improv Games (CIG for short) and this year marks the 42nd season of the theatre festival.
The improvisational troupe Hello City is named after a song about how Halifax sucks. “The same people, the same drinks and the same music, the same quicksand / I think this harbour town is waist-deep and sinkin’ fast,” goes the first verse, taking a pause before rolling into the first line of the chorus: “Hello city, you’ve found an enemy in me.”
Adrian Harewood spoke to 2 members from the Canturbury team, Grade 10 students Olivia Piercey and Brianna Orange on the program Our Ottawa.
