Oh. Crap. Tuesdays were better for me, too. Any idea yet as to what time on Wednesdays the rehearsals will be?

Thanks!

Fantastic workshop--Dave led us through a fun and lively microcosm of the whole improv-to-sketch process. I really enjoyed it!

Had a blast in the workshop today, guys. Mary Jo was awesome.

I love it! Count me in.

I am wondering now though, what will I find if I google "Kareem"....

You'd get about a million pages of info on former basketball player Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, I'm sure. So yeah, pretty safe for purposes of anonymity.

Of course, the "first name only" option only works up to a point. We have ...

Another one that I've seen used as an audience warm-up before shows, and might work here as well, is this:

Have everyone introduce themselves to the two or three people seated nearest to them--have them include their name and [usually occupation, though if these people work together, maybe ...

Can you give a one or two-word description (or more--I just don't know how much you want to share) about your presentation and its content? There are so many great icebreakers/warm-ups that it might be nice to use one(s) that tie in somewhat to what you're going to be presenting.

For example, if ...

Really fun mixer & auditions today, Shannon--thanks for leading! And great job, everyone! I thoroughly enjoyed watching all the fantastic scenework. If laughter really is the best medicine, then you have all made me significantly healthier.

*Face-palm* Oh, yes--of course! Thanks, Kevin! And I was so dang close to remembering every scene tonight...and then the one I forget was one of the cutest! "Monster had hard day at work...Monster hands too big to fill cans with tuna!" Poor Monster...there, there.

Once again, Fancy Pants was a blast. Thanks to everyone who played, for making my night fun. :-)
Last month, someone suggested perhaps keeping a running list of the couplings and their scenes. To that end, here are the ones I remember from this evening (not in order):

Val & Marc - hands stuck ...

Totally in like Flynn. (Man, that Flynn guy gets around. Am I right?!)

Zar took the pics for my most recent round of headshots.

He's great to work with, a true photographic talent, and incredibly prompt with getting proofs and retouched images back to clients. He also really takes pride in his work and wants you to be completely satisfied with it.

I will definitely ...

If you'll have me, I will love you. <3
If you won't, I will still love you. <3

But, totally, you should cast me.
Srsly.

I agree. I've only been to a couple of Shootarounds, but they were both fun and relaxed. Everyone was very friendly and supportive. I currently have a conflicting Wednesday night commitment, but I'll be back just as soon as I can.

I'm glad that I took the leap in changing my user name from my e-mail name to my real name. And I encourage those who feel comfortable doing so to follow suit (like Roy said, I often can't keep up with who's who otherwise).

I agree that it shouldn't be mandatory, though. Not everyone wants their ...
