Fancy Pants spot 12/2
Ruby - Sorry, but I have to cancel. There's a meltdown at work. I guess this frees up a spot for some lovely and talented improvisor. Cheers.

Jolene, I understand your nerves. I think we've all had them and they're just something you have to work through. Fancy Pants is an ideal environment for beginning improv performances.Jolene wrote:Yeah, I figured I'd come and watch tonight, and get a feel for it. I've never seen it, and I've only been on stage once for my level 2 performance.
Your time on stage is short and structured. You can participate in picking what game or scene you will do. You have Ruby right there to help if you get in a tight spot. You also have your scene partner. It's also a bit like a beginning improviser party. It's a lot of fun.
I highly recommend biting the bullet, clicking that mouse button and doing it. I think the first time on stage as an improviser is one of the hardest, and once you're done with it...it's done! I was freed up immensely after my first Fancy Pants, and the anxiety level leading up to it was very manageable. (As Roy told me once, "That's the idea.")
I think you'll be thrilled after your first performance, and the lead up to it won't kill you.
