What exactly does happen when X meets Y? The whole world breaks out in song, right? Well they do in Bowne's Lab. Just go with it and sing along with this love-sick cast of improvisers. The show's cast includes: Ali Reed, Will Luera, Chris Friday, Joey James, Patrick Jackson, Ellery Carlson, and Maria Schaedler-Luera.

FST's Director of Improv, Will Luera, shared his inspiration for this fully improvised musical stating,

"I'm lucky to work in a theatre that attracts so much talent from all over the country. When I found out that Ali Reed, a known musical improviser from NYC, was going to be in town performing in FST's Vaudeville show Never Marry a Girl with Cold Feet, I knew that we needed to work together. I quickly assembled a team of some of our best musical improvisers in the Sarasota area to do a show called When X meets Y."

Luera further explains the premise of this show stating, "The show will be a full-length improvised musical that will follow the arc of a relationship between X (our female) and Y (our male). At the top of the show, the audience will help determine who our X and Y will be as well as where the musical will take place. What will follow is a fully improvised story that will show how our two leads met, fell in love, and then...well, that will be up to the audience to help us figure out. Not only will the show feature a completely improvised story but it will also have solos, duets, full cast numbers and everything else you would expect from a musical."
