Sounds really awesome! Sad my troupe will be in Canada around that time. I mean, happy we'll be in Canada, sad that the times overlap.

Looks very ambitious for a first-time festival. I can't make that weekend either, but best of luck to y'all. Sounds like a fun road-trip for some AIC folks.

The St. Louis Compass Improv Festival now has a beer sponsor in the local Urban Chestnut Brewing Company. Selected performers will now be able to enjoy a wealth of beer at greatly reduced prices (and perhaps even free)!

I can't swing this year, but I'd love to make it up to St. Louis for this festival in the future. I'm in love with the City Museum and would make a trip just to visit it.

FYI -- The trip is about a 14 hour drive from ATX to St. Louis, MO. That's about 5 tanks of gas (round-trip) -- around $206. Doable for those with a big, reliable car that could take the whole troupe!! Timing is bad for PIP this year, but thank you for the heads up!!
