Rehearsal Day

Today is the last rehearsal before our May shows begin on Saturday. Jeremy gets to come in for his one-hour crash course on how to play TrivProv - he premieres at 9:00 on Saturday. I am positive he'll do great.

Then, the rest of the Imps come in. We'll go over all the games once as well as play Soap Opera. A lot of people are surprised that we rehearse for improv, but it's really necessary to have a good show, especially with the Imp Spectacular format, where there are a bunch of games. We have to know all the rules to the games before we go in, so we're not learning how to play it at the same time as the audience (although that's happened before...). Rehearsals are also needed to help solidify our sense of group - the kind of improv we do really requires that you trust your fellow actor.
