dience suggestions. Audience members are asked for a word or a prop to
get the game rolling. And once it starts, the four women use their talent
and inventiveness to deliver a show that’s not just hilarious but also
original.
Diane Pergamit, a 44-year-old office manager, first saw Wymprov
three years ago at the Eugene Hilton at the suggestion of a friend. She
has since been to five more performances. *
“The four work really well together,” she said. “They’re very sharp,
very quick — the shows are always different.”
Jesse Oliver agrees with Pergamit. Oliver is a long-time friend of
troupe member Vicki Silvers and just signed on to be the group’s book
ing agent.
‘They are incredibly funny,” Oliver said, “and what’s so great about
them is that they can take anything you throw at them and turn it into
something hilarious.”
Troupe member Enid Lefton, who also runs “Life Is An Improv,” a
successful venture that offers workshops for businesses, enjoys per
forming in the show and gives credit to the audience for making the
show the success it is today.
She said the Eugene crowd “really likes to laugh, and they are readily
with you when you cross over the line — whether it’s intentional or un
intentional.
“There’s an extra bit of support there.”
Silvers said one of the reasons the group works so well together is be
cause they’ve been friends for so long.
"Our group is like a long-term relationship,” Silvers said. "We’ve
learned to live with all the ups and downs.”
Wymprov will perform Nov. 15 and 22 at the Lord Leebrick Theatre,
540 Charnelton St. Tickets for the two-hour show can be purchased
ahead of time at Mother Kali’s, Hungry Head Books and the EMU Ticket
Office for $10 or at the door for $12. For more information, call 689
5673.
Hip Hop

DJ Shadow shares occasional
production duties with Lyrics
Born on a few tracks of Latyrx’s
self-titled album.
Released independently on
the Solesides label, fans can also
hear the group on “Latyrx: The
Album,” a collection of 13 studio
tracks and one live recording.
The album is an ear-pleasing
amalgam of straight rap tunes,
frenetic break beats by DJ Shad
ow and slow, Southern grooves
like the title track.
“The main difference between
what we were doing at Solesides
and what we’re going to do at
Quannum is that our perspec
tives are going to be a lot broad
er,” Lyrics Born told Elixir.
“Quannum will include R&B
and Rock, and not just hip-hop.”
Also on Saturday’s bill is
Blackalicious, who appear on
the final track of Latyrx’s album.
The groups are joined by Port
land’s Cool Nutz and the Life
savas, and Eugene’s recently re
united Organic Compound, as
well as DJ Rogue and PSL.
