Direct Maestro in 2007!

Post by acrouch »

Maestros have been a lot of fun lately due in part to the handful of brave improvisers stepping in and directing. We're seeing games we haven't played in ages and new approaches to Austin's most popular, long-running improv format.

And these fun shows have been coinciding with great audiences -- great audiences like the ones last year that peaked in March/April of 2006. Let's see if we can keep putting on the kinds of shows that will keep Maestro (and all improv) in high cotton all year.

So come direct Maestro. Pick a date or two and commit. Post here, PM me, or email me. If you want to direct with someone specific, let me know.

As far as I know, I'm good for any date besides January 13th. I'd love to direct with you.

Put me down for 2 of the slots to direct starting February 17th. And you can feel free to move me around if there comes a date that someone really wants later.

I'm really digging directing Maestro lately, so I'd like to direct at least 3 shows, if there's not a huge stampede to direct. My only direct conflict is January 13th.

Sign up Christina and I for any weekend in January (save the 13th) or early February.
Kareem and I would like a slot.. don't particularly care when, but January might be nice.
And Bill and I would like a slot, which I guess is Feb. 3rd.

Put me in for anytime after January. I'd love to be set up with Jason or Wes or someone of that stature.

I love directing maestro. I'll do it anytime. I am sad that musical maestro has been claimed already.

Actually, can I have March 31? I might be hosting a 20s fashion show on 3/3. Not confirmed, but I don't want to bail on Micetro.
