"It Came From Somewhere Else" it's just like a bad movie, only good!
It Came From Somewhere Else is a longform improvisation developed by Brad Daniels, the troupe director of EDGE. It draws its inspiration from the Sci-fi genre, but it also has a highly original structure where players are assigned their roles randomly according to the spin of a wheel. There are literally thousands of combinations that are possible, so even though there are only 6 basic choices to begin with, there will never be 2 shows that are the same... even if such a thing were possible in improvisation. First, the wheel is spun to determine what the “movie” is about, then the player randomly select what their “job” is (such as scientist or policeman), and then they select what their “role” is in the movie. Their role could be to be the hero, the villain, the love interest, or the comic relief...
