Improv

  • A New Class

    Until a couple of weeks ago you would find me sitting in an improv class every Saturday.  That changed when our 501 class didn’t make.  Apparently, a class of two isn’t quite enough.  Our original 101 class, which started with 16 people had dwindled down to 3 by the time we reached 401.  We were…

  • The Show!

    As you may have heard, I was in my first improv show on Friday.  It was FANTASTIC!  (Yes, an all caps worthy kind of performance.)  I must admit, I am in complete and total awe of my classmates who got up there and created an amazingly fun and entertaining show along with the help of some super…

  • The Rehearsal

    We had our first run through of our 301 Improv show yesterday.  (Did I mention there’s a show coming up?  March 11th, 10pm? Get your tickets now before they sell out (and they will sell out).  The place only seats about 50 and I want you there versus some crazy co-worker who got wind of…

  • What is Improv? A 101er’s Perspective

    Lori’s Has Some Questions: Lori, author of the Dotopotamus, friend and former colleague from my PBS days, recently commented on my post titled BRAINZZZ! – a post where I asked my friends for blog suggestions/ideas for ways to improve The Big Blue Mess (it’s still not too late to send those my way).  Lori asked…

  • See What Sticks

    The summer is quickly coming to a close and soon we’ll be saying goodbye to 104 degree days and hopefully hello to a little rain.  This is the time of year when the tide turns and I can start bragging about the winter temperatures while my more northern state living friends bundle-up, say goodbye to…

  • Improv: You Still Have a Death Scene

    Yesterday I started Improv 101 with April at Merlin Works.  Hands-down, it’s the best class I’ve taken, and considering it involved me + strangers playing together, this is saying a great deal.  Usually me + strangers is akin to cats + water or maybe even polar bears + desert (which makes for great Sci-Fi, but since no…
