Ladysmith Secondary School students are second-best in the nation for thinking on the fly.

The LSS Improvisors competed in the Canadian Improv Games, a Canada wide improvised theatre competition, last month, said team member and graduating student Hailey Bohmer.

The team, led by teacher William Taylor, came in second, scoring 465, one point shy of first place.

“Our improv season is usually only four or five months long, but due to COVID delays and restrictions, we ended up practising together for nine months. It was an amazing opportunity for us to be able to perform as a team in a national theatre competition,” Bohmer said.
