RetCon
RetCon is short for retroactive continuity. It's a common device used in comic books, sequels, and TV shows where new information about the past is revealed to shed light on the current situation. As an original improv form, it will be as if a classic La Ronde had the order of its scenes reversed. The first scene will actually be the end of the story and each scene will move backwards as the characters' actions are explained as they move back in time to the beginning. It will be a hilarious journey going back in time!
Cast: Alexandru Zaha Zaharia, Ben Hebert, Betty Mujica, David Toscano, Jesse F. Garson, Nicole Nodarse, season tech/alternate Chuck Vaughn.
