Austin Improv

...but definitely in an Electric Company way. Maybe Topping, Tom, and Asaf will get that reference...

This is my tertius decimus (means 13th but sounds like 'talk dirty to me') post and I want to dedicate it to everyone in the community who welcomed me with open arms and an open mind. Not going to lie, was hoping for tongue, but what can you do...

Two years ago, I couldn't have imagined writing a musical sketch about Pro Choice vs. Pro Life featuring the puppets of Topping Haggerty. And I really couldn't imagine being part of a sketch show, selling out 2 of its 3 shows (hoping for #3 this Sunday). Guys: I WROTE A MUTHA-EFFING MUSICAL.

It wouldn't have been possible without improv, because I wouldn't have imagined it had I not taken a free improv workshop that turned into a year of classes and some shows and some more classes. I improvised my way into writing a mutha-effing musical.

Thank you to all the improvisers and actors I've watched over the past two years -- I'm learning from you every time I watch you. You are too many to name. Thank you to everyone taking part in "The Moral Compass Rumpus" at The Institution Theater. And special thanks to Topping Haggerty for the puppets and bringing Wiggly to life.

Oh, and happy Everyone Post To The Forum Day. Thank you, AIC Forum and everyone who works on it!

Best,
Roanna

You still have one more chance to see Roanna's musical in The Moral Compass Rumpus this Sunday, August 26th - 7pm at The Institution Theater

(I've decided to use today to shamelessly pimp Roanna and this show. It's how I roll.)

Hey, we've been connecting on Facebook, but I don't think we've ever met in person? Anyway, that should happen.

I am assuming you did not just call me, Tom, and Asaf old, right? You were simply implying that we three are highly knowledgeable about all things, which includes, but is not limited, the TV show 'Electric Company'.

For you young people:

* I agree, Ryan! Let's make that happen. I'll be at the Capitol for the silent protest at 10am on Saturday, if you're in the area. Work on campus so can pretty well meet up any time. Only date I can't is this Friday. Working on a script for a 48 Hour Film Project.

YES. EXACTLY. It is really a matter of sophistication...
