In a sort of reality theater undertaking, local improv performers bring to life that special Kodak moment when some couple in the audience first laid eyes on each other. Jill Bourque, the show's creator and evening's quasi-talk-show host, starts things off by reading out loud the evening's collection of encounters from handwritten slips, most naming the usual ways — at a bar or a party, on a plane or blind date, through Craigslist or a mutual friend. It's the not-so-typical meetings — during a bank robbery, on a sheepskin rug, in a high school sex ed class — that get the loudest applause and become the plot for the night. Once chosen, the couple takes the sofa opposite Borque and gets down to the nitty-gritty of detailing how love's long-dormant orchid suddenly bloomed one fateful, unexpected day. All along, a quartet of improvisers (Derek Cochran, Sarah Delaney, Paul Erskine, and Susie Sargent) act out these scenes through song, slow motion, and, most ingeniously, lip-syncing to segments from random low-budget movies — totally on the quick. It's amazing and fun and could possibly prove to be addictive enough to cause return visits.
