What does IMPRO mean in Scrabble?
noun
informalBritish
Improvisation, especially in theatre or comedy performance; a short informal shortening of the longer word.
Impro is simply a clipped, everyday form of improvisation, used chiefly by actors, comedians, and drama teachers talking about performing without a fixed script. A troupe doing impro builds scenes, characters, and jokes on the spot, often in response to suggestions shouted out by the audience. The shortened form feels casual and workshop-like, fitting the spontaneous nature of the activity it names, and it appears constantly in theatre listings and class descriptions in Britain and Australia. The fuller word improvisation remains standard in more formal writing about music, drama, or problem-solving generally.
