OAKVILLE BEAVER Friday, June 5, 2009 · 32 Building strong kids, strong families & strong communities Veteran actors leading school www.ymcaofoakville.com Continued from page 29 "This all started when we wanted our own kids to take improv classes but didn't want to drive them to Toronto to do it," Pearson said. "I'm just another Oakville guy that wants cool stuff but is fed up with commuting." For each of the three, improv has helped them both personally and professionally. Pearson used improvisation to launch a career in comedy, moving from performing on Toronto's Second City stage to writing for top Canadian TV shows like Corner Gas and This Hour Has 22 Minutes and for Fox TV in Los Angeles on Mad TV. He is currently producing That's So Weird, a new youth sketch comedy show for YTV. Amy McKenzie went from improv to sketch comedy, writing and acting on CBC Radio, as well as the Gemini-nominated sketch comedy TV series History Bites and Train 48. For Duncan McKenzie, improv also led to comedy writing -- he worked with Amy on History Bites, and later incorporated improv into his TV work when he produced the Global TV series Train 48, set on a GO Train running from Toronto to Oakville. Pearson and the McKenzies believe that Oakville needs more comedy. "We have some great programs here for serious theatre," McKenzie said. "But the traditional symbol for theatre has two masks ­ one for tragedy, one for comedy. We think its time the comedy mask got some attention." More information about the workshops is available at on the web at www.baddogtheatre.com/oakville or by e-mail at oakville@baddogtheatre.com.
