Exploration Blank was created by TIC artistic director Alan Pavlakovic and invites guests to help the improvisers create a sci-fi spectacle each night.
The cast will explore strange new worlds, discover alien civilizations, and more, all based on audience suggestions to power the improv minigames performed live onstage at the theatre located at 1502 Duranleau St.

“I designed this show to really let imaginations run wild – for our performers and our audiences,” said Pavlakovic in a release. “Whether you love the ‘Wars’ or the ‘Trek,’ this is the show that will make a spectacle of all those wonderful out-of-this-world tropes and bring some of your favourite galactic adventures to the stage.
“I’m over the moon excited to produce my first show from start to finish as AD and give audiences a peek into my mind, my formative years, and very much still my current passions. Expect rich soundscapes with flashing lights, boson whistles, red alerts, advanced tech, and alien encounters; no simple Earthbound characters in this show, just galaxies of wonder.”
