Oregon Children’s Theatre has put on yet another amazing show, called Impulse! Impulse is a comedic improv show full of fast-paced scenes and games that are bound to make you laugh! Part of what makes improv shows so amazing is that the actors interact with the audience by asking for suggestions on the topic for each individual game, and no two shows are alike.
