Gig Heaven

Not many updates lately... we're out spreading the good word among the people of Kansas. This is the summer of gigs, mainly to smaller libraries all around this section of the state, and mostly for kids ages 6-12. We've been playing a lot of really physical games, getting really sweaty, and giving hundreds of kids their very first taste of improv.

Think about that for a second... literally hundreds of kids who had never heard of improv before this summer will now have a really great impression of it, from that group that came to the library. These are our future audiences. You have to think... if we put as many resources into youth theater and youth improv as we do youth soccer and little league, maybe the next generation will spend their Friday nights in theaters instead of football fields. I'd settle for an even split.

That's it. I've got to start a youth improv class now.

  1. I'm fairly certain Lilli would be interested in learning Improv. She wants to improvise scenes based loosely on Veggie Tales episodes anytime we drive anywhere.
