At the start of the show, the actors
will ask for the audience to provide an
objective and a title for the musical.
From this suggestion, the accompanist
and guest percussionist will begin play
ing an overture.
The actors never discuss what they
will do when the music ends. Instead,
they develop the characters and plots as
the show goes. The improv group aims
to discover what happens in the story
rather than invent it, said Transactors’
Executive and Artistic Director Greg
Hohn.
“We’re kind of doing our own thing
really,” Hone said. “Musical improv is
something we’ve developed in a vacu
um.”
The group specializes in long form
improvisational theatre, a type of theatre
where the actors develop an entire show

She said authorities were looking into
other motives and past incidents with
the school but declined to elaborate, cit

taught at the school since 1991.

This version of improv is less well
known than short form improvisation
where actors perform vignettes and the
atre games.

trating mainly in the southeast with
venues from the Spoletto Festival
Theatre Fringe in Charleston, S.C., and
the Artsplosure in Raleigh.
Zach Hanner, Moe Chamble and
Hone all graduated from UNC. Joining
them in the cast will be three other per
formers with diverse backgrounds in
dance, acting and music. A pianist and

begin class.
Morris, 35, was in fair condition
Tuesday at University Medical Center.
Morris has declined all requests for
interviews, according to hospital
spokeswoman Vicki Gaubeca.
“Ms. Morris’ allegation was destruc
tive, damaging and insulting to our stu
dents and members of the district’s
minority community,” district
Superintendent Robert J. Smith said
Tuesday.
Smith said Morris had been placed
on paid administrative leave pending an
investigation.
Coultas said investigators found a
gun that had been fired once in a false
bottom of Morris’ purse.
Coultas said Moms was not immedi
ately facing any criminal charges, but
the Pima County attorney’s office was
seeking to have her sent to a mental
health facility. A school custodian told
investigators he heard a shot but there
were no witnesses, Coultas said.
After the shooting, sheriff’s deputies,
including SWAT officers, searched the
two-story school before expanding their
search into the neighborhood.
After all other teachers and school
personnel were accounted for, school
officials canceled classes Monday.
Students returned to class Tuesday.
