Cut

Description

This Long Form improv game is played with 6 to 15 players. 2 players start a scene, perhaps based on an audience suggestion. In the middle of the scene, any other player can call `Cut`, and start another scene, dragging one or more other players in the scene.

All scenes are interrupted this way, and the idea is that all scenes come together in one story. Cut scenes can be continued later. Usually, every player sticks to one character.

This game can be played with or without a director. Also know as Also known as Soap. .
