The New Year....

First of all, happy new year. I hope all is well with everyone.

I know it's been a long time since we've done.....anything. Well it's the new year and I think it's time we see if this old bird can still fly. As soon as I'm feeling physically better, I will try to schedule some up coming practices. As far as shows go, we've got a lot of catching up to do. I know we normally perform at the Firehouse, but I'll see if we can get some gigs elsewhere. In the meantime, let's work with what we got.

More to come.....

Update

Attendance has been quite light for the past few practices, so we skipped a few weekends in anticipation that some of the kids in marching band might rejoin at the end of the season.

So: are we ready to spend a few weekends doing improv again, or shall we put the site in mothballs until after the end of the year? You tell me!

Welcome back

We've had light attendance at the first couple of warm-ups this fall. Some kids are busy every Saturday for the first couple of months of school, so we'll try to mix things up and have practices on other days too: for instance, this Sunday at noon.

With few people, we've concentrated more on running exercises than full-fledged games. The exercise of choice has been Storytime! and we've come up with some doozies. Come on folks, join the fun!

Here's another idea for an exercise, something we can do online if you're inclined: briefly describe a situation and challenge others to come up with a nice one-liner to wrap up the scene. Here, I'll do an example:

A cop is walking down the sidewalk when a man wearing nothing but pants runs out of a building.

Give me one line! One possible answer is:

The cop says, "Buddy, you should've bet the rest of your clothes, you never know when your luck is going to turn."

Or:

The half-naked man says, "Officer, I'd like to get something off my chest."

What do you think? Hmmmmm?

Please check the calendar for dates and times and locations of warm-ups. Plus, we have an opportunity to perform a post-Halloween show.

What do you think? Let us know; meanwhile I look forward to seeing you very soon.
