For our latest mission, we staged a pirate invasion on the Central Park Lake, converting a rowboat rental into a pirate ship. Actors dressed as pirates from Disney’s Pirates of the Caribbean attraction set sail on the lake, searching for the keys to their treasure chest. The pirates interrogated the New Yorkers and tourists on other rowboats and by the shore, much to their delight.
Enjoy the video first and then go behind the scenes with our mission report and photos.

One of Improv Everywhere’s very first missions, waaaay back in 2002, took place on the Central Park Lake. We set up an offshore gambling ring on one of the rowboats. It was fun to return to the lake 12 years later to stage something new. It’s one of the best spots in all of NYC.
