RBIT's Comedian Bio
Bio
The Royal Berkshire Improvisational Troupe (RBIT) is a comedy improv group based in Western Massachusetts. Founded by Berkshire County native and actress Alexia Trainor, RBIT has been delighting audiences with its own brand of non-scripted comedic mayhem since June of 2001. Performing a mix of theater games reminiscent of the TV show Whose Line Is It Anyways?, the group models its work on the teachings of renowned theater games/improvisation instructor Keith Johnstone. Through audience participation, RBIT's mission is to create entertaining scenes which explore the boundaries of theater improvisation (impressive, huh?).

-"The show was amazing... many students approached me after the show to express their pleasure and surprise at the quality of your skills. Needless to say, the performance made a very positive impression on campus… Thank you again for your passion, talent and message."
(Matt Landa, Activities Director, Simon’s Rock College of Bard)
-"Although the word 'Royal' appears in the troupe's name, nowhere is it evident that they take the regal moniker seriously- which is one of the troupe's major appeals."
(Edward Ortiz, Berkshires Week)
-"Unlike comedia troupes I've seen whose imaginative lunacy laughs AT silly-acting bodies, you treat your spectators and performance participants as empathic companions in our circus of a universe... I hail you as clowns of shyness, uncertainty, and love.”
(Leonard Berkman, Ph.D., Anne Hesseltine Hoyt Professor of Theatre, Smith College)
