The Improv Centre presents I Know What You Did Last Weekend from September 19 to November 1
THE 1997 CULT CLASSIC I Know What You Did Last Summer begins with a murder: a group of drunken teens run over a fisherman while driving to the beach at night.
While what ensues next is a ball of cheese involving a hook-wielding killer and all the predictability fans of slasher films know and love, the movie became a Halloween mainstay, and was even given a remake earlier this year.
This fall, The Improv Centre will put a spin on it with I Know What You Did Last Weekend, a nostalgic, sensationalized show revolving around six friends and one deadly incident. In a totally new format for the improvisers, the production will kick off with a murder, and the crowd each night will get to pick who dies and how it happens.

The show will run at The Improv Centre from September 19 to November 1, every Friday and Saturday at 7:30 pm. If you’re planning on attending, expect to help flesh out all the hilarious details, from what happens in outrageous flashback scenes to which petty grudge has come between the friends this time. It’ll all culminate in a final reveal as to what really went down the weekend of the murder.
Co-created by The Improv Centre’s artistic director Jalen Saip and ensemble member Helen Camisa, I Know What You Did Last Weekend marks the last show helmed by Saip—who has held the position since June 2022—before she steps down to begin a new chapter in her life as a mom. Longtime improviser Alan Pavlakovic, a current ensemble member at The Improv Centre who co-created The Bachelor-ish earlier this year, will take on the role.
A special opening-night performance of I Know What You Did Last Weekend will take place on September 18 at 7:30 pm. Additional evening performances will run on the two Thursdays leading up to Halloween, October 23 and 30.
