BRIAN GARBE

___________________________________________________________________

Brian is Unexpected Productions current Tech Imp Extraordinaire’. He is best known as the master of the light board, dazzling the audience while improvising with the players by adding mood lighting, scenic backdrops and the occasional spot light. More recently he has begun to experiment and play with the role of sound technician. The world of sound effects and subtle background melodies help enrich most scenes and shows. Brian enjoys both roles so much that he is often found performing lights and sound at the same time!

Brian has been an active member of the improv community since 2005 when he began taking classes through Unexpected Productions. Brian soon heard the call of duty and gleefully took on the role of lighting technician. Since then he has performed in over 500 shows as a Technical Improvisor. He has worked on a multitude of formats that include Black Eyed Blonde, Improvised Shakespeare, Where’s Earth?, The Cotton Gin (season 1&2) as well as the seasonal favorites Campfire and Improvised Christmas Carol. He took part in and completed The Improvathon in 2006; he also has worked for artists that have visited The Market Theatre that have included other improv groups, scripted shows, solo performances, musicals as well as amateur dance competitions. But that’s not all; Brian has also worked outside of UP and the Market Theatre by running lights for high school plays and even a burlesque show.

Brian is very proud to be a founding member of Carni-logic and remains an active student improviser. He can be seen semi-regularly on Thursday nights at the Market Theatre.
