Who's performing in this? What's the format going to be?

We're doing two 20-minute gigs somewhere between 6-8pm. We'll be playing for 60 sixth graders from a local public school and a handful of parents/chaperons. Format is up to us -- we'll probably play some games, do some short storytelling stuff, etc. Cast includes Marc, Shana, Andy C, Erin, Mike (K?) -- with me doing soundtracky stuff if they need it.

I thought this was awesome. Lots of kids hopped up on candy having fun, and yet the imps were able to captivated the audience with their games and storytelling. Everyone was entertained and left loving us -- several people even told me so to my face. Those that were unwilling to talk to our awesomeness directly told each other -- but I overheard their giddiness. Three cheers for improv!!! Thanks Book People!! Thanks AIC!!

I am so glad to hear that you guys pulled it off and not at all surprised. Will Marc be able to upload some of the video or pictures from it?

That's so cool, guys. I feel proud.

The Russian judge didn't think so.

everyone knows russians hate babies. that's why they lost the cold war.

The french skating judges will agree with you for a price. Cutest baby? 1000 Euros. Done.
