We're rescheduling the improv Shakespeare rehearsal and encouraging people to go check out this show. It's worth it for the 1/3 scale Globe Theater they'll be playing in. Post here and we'll build "families of four."

Les says he can get comps for improvisers. This seems like the kind of thing that we should get behind. It might mean improv having more access to the local Shakespeare community and a really cool space (in the Curtain Theater).

Will you come see some Shakespeare Improv on Sunday. Shana and I have been invited to play in the show. Will you come see us play on Sunday?

I support this, and will be there if at all possible. Any families need an adopted son?

I will be there and could use an improviser comp if they are in fact available. I am getting quite broke this week.

I would also like to be comped/adopted by a family of four.

I am behind this all the way. Unfortunately I'll be approaching 35,000 feet over the heartland while you are all Shakespeare'n. Next time!

Shakespeare-related link: This is a fairly recent, and one of my favorite-ever This American Life episodes. It's about convicts performing Hamlet in prison. When you have about an hour to listen to it, enjoy...
