Mr. Betsill has been performing scripted works for decades, including several shows here at Runway. He started his improv journey in middle school, almost at the same time as he was introduced to theatre. He immediately fell in love with the spontaneity and creativity that improv required. He continued to do improv throughout school, but didn’t pursue it in earnest until about 15 years ago. And he has performed with several improv troupes throughout DFW over the years. Narrative musical improv is his newest love, and if you have never seen top notch narrative musical improv, you are missing out! It combines his love of musicals, and his love of improv, and he hopes you get as much joy out of watching it, as he does performing it. He greatly appreciates Runway Theatre for the opportunity to bring Totally Made-up Musical to its patrons. He also sends much love to his dazzling wife Alli and their fluffy doodle Frankie. Enjoy the show and SHOUT OUT those suggestions!
