For over 40 years, Bangor’s Penobscot Theatre Company has produced hundreds of plays and

created a magical world of joy and wonder for kids (of all ages) through their innovative

educational and summer programs. Wednesday On Main brings you area improv pros Dennis

Price & Amy Roeder, who have created a two person, improv tutorial evening and show.

They’ll call kids up as volunteers throughout the show, and ask them to join at the end for a

round of “Freeze” – as family friendly as you can be!! Marcia Gallagher music directs this show

that is based on suggestions from the audience, just like Whose Line Is It Anyway! Who knows,

you might even get to be part of the act! Don’t miss this one of a kind show!

Dennis Price, founder of Capital City Improv, studied and performed improvisation in Chicago

with The Second City and IO Theater(formerly ImprovOlympic). Since coming to Maine in

1998, Dennis has worked as an actor, performer, improviser, teacher, and director. He worked

with the Theater at Monmouth for 12 years, and he was also seen at the Penobscot Theater in

Bangor and The Public Theater in Lewiston. During the summer, he performs

with ImprovAcadia in Bar Harbor. Currently, Dennis teaches Theatre at Winthrop High School

and also directs the drama program. He lives in Readfield with his beautiful wife Dania, and

Charlotte, the wonder poodle.

Amy Roeder is the Director of Education at Penobscot Theatre. Amy has been a professional

improvisor and improv teacher for 19 years, working for companies such as Improv Acadia in

Bar Harbor, Capital City Improv (Augusta), Improv Asylum (Boston) and Chicago’s famed

Second City among others. In addition to teaching improv for performance, Amy has brought

improv skills training to several companies including Halyard Health Care, Starcom MediaVest,

the US District Court and Archer Gray Consulting. Amy has been an invited instructor to improv

festivals all over the world (or at least the western hemisphere, though she’s working on that).
