If you want to see more of that, DO MORE OF THAT. At the very least, you will have satified yourself. At the very best, you will have inspired someone else to pursue improv to similar ends they didn't know were there.
I haven't seen Uncle Vanya, but I've seen the improv show you are talking about and you can do it.
