Getting ready...

Those of you planning to perform at the next show, please arrive at the Firehouse this coming Saturday evening by 5 PM so we can do a quick warm-up. Confirm with us as soon as you can if you're coming, please; it will be useful for Ashley and me to know who to expect to show up.

Last warm-up was sparsely attended; I was unable to reach some of you by phone, and some have conflicts I know about. Please check the blog regularly for the next warm-up!!

Though attendance was small, we did some good work: we played a few rounds of Press Conference, ran through some oldies but goodies and even tried out Good/Bad/Worst for the first time in a while. Also our newest improv'er got roasted in Good News/Bad News.

The schedule for Saturday: meet at 5 PM, work for a while, break to eat, then prep the theater for the show. At 7, Joey D will open the show and perform some magic, then Improvysteria performs. Lastly, depending on the atmosphere, Evolution may play a couple of games. (Yay!)

Okay? Those of you who don't email, if you haven't gotten a phone message, call me or Ashley and we'll fill you in. I look forward to seeing you Saturday!

Rank lunch meat

"The Spoiled Baloney Man" opens at the Firehouse on April 26, and Jeannette would like Improvysteria to perform. Apparently the script only runs to about twenty minutes.

The dates and times for the shows are:
* April 26 @ 7 PM
* April 27 @ 3 PM
* May 3 @ 7 PM
* May 4 @ 3 PM
* May 10 @ 7 PM
* May 11 @ 3 PM

If you can help Jeannette pad out this show, I think you should. Plus... it can create all that much more buzz about Improvysteria™.

Any problems? Let us know!

Theater games tonight

As most of you are aware, one of the local newspapers mistakenly wrote that there would be a performance of The Wizard of Oz at the Firehouse tonight. Jeannette would like to put on a show of theater games, and asked Ashley and I to organize it.

I called around to Improvysteria members, to see who can attend: the only definite no's are Tyfry and Tim. If you're coming, please arrive by 6 PM (if you can) so we can prep.

I recommended to Ash and JJ that we should not advertise this as an "official" Improvysteria show, although I think it should be mentioned that members of the group are taking part.

Hope to see you tonight!

Helping hands

Hello all, I received an email from Jeannette regarding Improvysteria members who committed to help Jeannette; apparently some members did not make it this past weekend. She asked Ashley and I to remind you that your help is needed.

FWIW, Jeannette did not arrive at the Firehouse on Friday due to weather, and she was late getting in on Saturday but said she saw no sign that anyone had come.

Here is the schedule as she told it to me:

Friday 3:20 - 5pm: Morgan, Daultin, Courtney, Rebekah
Saturday 10 - 12pm: Maggie, Emily, Paul
Sunday 12 - 2pm: Merillyn, Caitlyn

If this is not correct, can you let Jeannette know? If you came and didn't find her, will you tell Jeannette? If you need to reschedule, will you please inform Jeannette.

And please, PLEASE don't ignore your commitment... duh duh DUM!!!!
