The Characters that Lived!

The CYC is just tickled pink about our upcoming event on October 26. The Characters that Lived is an amazing opportunity for our students to create characters and see their writing brought to life by professional improv actors. It’s Grand Rapids’ only all ages improv show and will be a night to remember. The event has been a huge success for two years now and promises to be a legendary night of laughter and love yet again. The proof is in the pudding, as they say!

And now, for a sneak-peek-exclusive of some of the zany characters that will be flying across the stage in just a few weeks! You’ll be enchanted by 3rd grader Chloe’s character, Malia Love Alanna, a Dominican “fun girl to play with,” and a gymnastics teacher who likes to say “Chicka chicka boom boom!” in Spanish. Malia will be gracing the stage for one night only, along with Biggy. Biggy is the creation of Andrew, a fourth grader, and Biggy has a pet dog named Grizzles. Biggy likes to say “Holy beans!” and wants to be a star someday. Meet these cool characters and more at our show!


Tickets for the event are currently on sale and will be $12 if purchased before the night of. All proceeds go to benefit CYC programming and help us to continue providing our wacky writers with outlets for their amazing ideas. This is an absolutely unmissable opportunity and we want you to be there. So grab an old friend or a new one, and get your tickets while you can!
