Austin Improv

This will be a special spanking-themed maestro. Everyone is getting spanked.

Welp, side support just got a whole lot more interesting this week. Audience volunteers might be a bit scarce, though. Or not... this is Austin.

Thank you, number five.

You "beat" me to it, Jon.

Really interesting show on Saturday, everyone. I thought we started with one of the strangest, quietest audiences I've ever faced and ended with a unified group of cheering folks. I think this is the result of players determined to have fun and the magic of the format. It just seems unbreakable at times.

I wanted to apologize if I seemed cranky and impatient as a director. I was rusty and struggled with the logistics of directing (forgetting what round we were in, botching direction, failing to explain myself clearly). Someone told me afterwards that I need to be more patient with myself, and I think that's spot on. So I apologize for any aggressiveness or frustrated demeanor. I don't think this needs discussion and I'm not looking for reassurance. I just wanted people to know what was up and congrats on turning a show around to a triumphant conclusion.

My favorite two scenes of the night were "under the bus" with Eric & Asaf , followed by Andy's Shakespeare scene with Halyn delivering all her lines from a copy of Henry the 4th (actor's nightmare).

p.s. Don't direct Maestro on an empty stomach

It takes all kinds of shows to occur before we ever really know what is the perfect show. I'm sure this show was better than you realize. MWAH!

Under the Bus with Asaf and Eric was my favorite scene of the night. It was beautiful. Well done, both of you.

Video of the show.
