Christmas Cranston Cup

GRAND FINAL
Celebrating 25 years and
20 years at The Enmore Theatre.

Always hilarious and completely anarchic, this is a night like no other. The 2008 Cranston Cup theme is "Christmas" so why not buy a ticket for a Christmas present and spread some Christmas joy and laughter.

The Cranston Cup is now in it's Silver Jubilee Year. 2008 marks 20 years of The Cranston Cup being held at the Enmore Theatre and it is also the Enmore Theatre's 100 year - so it's a double Celebration! Be ready for another hilarious season of laughs and surprises. The Cranston Cup commenced in 1985 at Belvoir Street Theatre and moved to The Enmore Theatre in 1987 because it had outgrown Belvoir Street Theatre. From there it has been Sold-Out every year.

The Cranston Cup was named after Lamont Cranston, a character played by Dennis Watkins who was the first producer of Theatresports in Australia. The tackiest trophy in town stands over 7ft tall and is as coveted as a Brownlow Medal or the Cricket Ashes. All improvisers want to be a winner of the famous Cranston Cup and have their name carved on the shield.

Witness the thrills and spills as teams of comic actors are set the task of creating instant scenes based on surprise offers and audience suggestions. Putting their wit and courage to the test, the country's top improvisers battle it out to get their hands on the biggest, ugliest trophy in Australia, The Cranston Cup!

The Grand Final is the culmination of this year's Theatresports Cranston Cup finals and semi-finals. It is not for the faint hearted and only the toughest improvisers survive. It is fast and hard and completely frantic and hard to believe they make it all up on the spot!

Previous winners have included Rebecca DeUnamuno, Murray Fahey, Daniel Cordeaux, Jordan Raskopoulous, Adam Spencer, Jay Laga'aia, Lyn Pierse and more legends of Australian improvisation.

The 2008 Cranston Cup will be Directed by Lyn Pierse author of "Theatresports Down Under" a history of Aussies rules Theatresports and hosted by Ewan Campbell. Plus, there will be several guest Celebrity Judges.

This is sudden death, cut-throat comedy that your sides won't mind being split for.

Let the games begin!
