Austin Improv

I'm directing Maestro this weekend with Andy. yay!

Lately I've been watching tapes of Maestros past from 1999 that I found in the green room (I'll return them soon, I swear).

At least one of the games I direct will be a game from those tapes that I've not seen played in recent history. Fortunately, it's not overly complicated, so you won't feel lost if you get put in it.

Also look for Choose Your Own Adventure (also known as Tater Do), Bird's Eye View, Rashoman, Isn't it Just Like Life? and some other games I absolutely adore.

Also, Kristin will be filming Maestro, and the tape will be 1) harvested for clips that will be put up on YouTube and 2) archived as a DVD for posterity in the AIC library, so that future improvisers can laugh at our antics.

So you should play and stuff.

That was a really fun, strong Maestro. You had the audience from the beginning, and never let them go.

Pictures and video to come soon, but for now...

Here's a shot of the audience at the end of Maestro. That is a satisfied bunch of people:

53 pictures from Maestro tonight are now up:

I'm usually OK about watching myself on camera...but this is just scary.
