Six Degrees
Gorilla Theatre
Cops and Lawyers
Start Trekkin
Theatresports
The soon to be Shakespeare show
and, in actuality, Micetro (er, Maestro)

All of these shows have combined to create quite a positive profile for improv in the community.
Yeah, Heroes of Comedy was listed as a choice specifically with that in mind. It's actually the closest to being a "company", in my opinion, since it produces shows with varying casts and specific runs. As to what Heroes is, and what it'll be going forward, that's a whole nuther thread, I think.

50 votes and counting...

I thought the same thing about the company part. ColdTowne is a company to me too, and not a troupe.

Fifty votes so far, huh? That's awesome. I'm having a hard time trying to decide who to vote for.

By that definition above, ColdTowne is a "company," but we are also a troupe with five members.

ColdTowne = Troupe
ColdTowne Theater = Company

But does this distinction matter? And if so, why?

Nah, the distinction doesn't matter at all. For the purposes of voting, troupe = team = group = company = brigade.

I just thought the word 'company' was an interesting choice.

Up to 63 votes now. woo!

I haven't said it yet, but thanks, Roy, for doing this.

And, the polls are closed, and the winner's name has been sent to ACOT.

Posted: **October 19th, 2007, 5:55 pm**

So, what happens that night? Do the winners get to make acceptance speech? Dave Buckman rocked the room last year with his and everyone took notice.
