Next warm-up, showcase opportunity

The next warm-up is scheduled for this Saturday from 1 to 5 PM at the Firehouse.

I got a call from a former actor's parent tonight, telling me a little about a neighborhood festival called Eaglemania. It's hosted by St. Jude Church, next to Parkview, and occurs on June 13th.

(Those in the know may say, "DUH! That's your church!" Bear with me.)

Apparently there will be a talent show at the festival, but the organizers are a little light on acts. So, I was asked, would I be interested in helping to provide a little something?

So, improv'ers: would you be interested in providing a sample of Improvysteria? Please let me know.

Good news, bad news

The good news is, three of Improvysteria's four regular adult helpers are working on the next Firehouse production, Al Capone and Me, and it's going pretty well. The bad news is, four out of four are unable to make time for a warm-up at the Firehouse this coming weekend. We're sorry!!! I know this is disappointing, but we ARE coming to the end of school, and many of us are already very busy. (Absence makes the heart grow fonder? I hope?)

The Firehouse might be open for our use during the day May 31st, or early evening June 1st. IIRC our creative director cannot be there on May 31st, but if there is enough demand, and she's okay with it, the rest of us might meet.

More good news: I checked in at the local library to see when we might use their big conference room, and many afternoons look good during the summer. Take a look at their schedule here -- Tuesday afternoons look free, shall I mark some of them down?

That's about all I have for now, but I should mention the fabulous work members did promoting Improvysteria for the audiences of The Spoiled Baloney Man. (I know, he's my son, but never have I heard anyone use a soliloquy from Hamlet as a put-down!) Kudos as well to the audience last weekend for staying for improv, even after the fire alarm went off.

If you think of a good time to meet earlier than June 1st, please tell us! I look forward to working with you all again ASAP... and Happy Summer!

The Last Spoiled Baloney Man Show.....

You guys need to give yourselves a pat on the back. The audience was the largest for Spoiled Baloney, and it rounded things out smoothly. To those that participated, I thank you all.

That's all I really have to say. Keep checking this place for updates on what's going on.

News

Eagle-eyed readers of this blog will note that there was no warm-up scheduled this past weekend. The next warm-up is scheduled (tentatively) for 1 - 4 PM this Saturday, May 10. Can you be there?

The cast of Spoiled Baloney includes four improv'ers, all of whom represented the group for Friday night's performance; they were joined by two more on Sunday. All did a fine job. Of Saturday's show, I especially appreciated that paragon of action heroes, the Overachiever, and the short romance that ended with a hanging. Of Sunday's show, I appreciated the fact that I was able to see any part of it at all... I barely caught the end!

I still need to know who is willing to perform with Spoiled Baloney this coming weekend. You know who you are!! Let me know please.

Next warm-up...

When will it be? I had talked to Scott a little bit about a warm-up a bit after the show tomorrow... would 5-7 be manageable? Who all has conflicts? I really want to warm up!!!!!!!!
A comment would be very nice! Thanks!
