Were you eagerly awaiting the details of the rest of our Hong Kong trip? Many apologies - a lot of life has happened in the intervening months. Here are some highlights, in no particular order ( Read more... )

Sitting in the Seattle airport on the way back from Hong Kong, and I'm reflecting on something that happened before the trip. At rehearsal a couple of weeks ago, our group ended up having a really wonderful discussion about the best way to find the essence of who you are as an actor on stage - mainly by finding the range of how other people see ( Read more... )

In January 2014, I joined the Unusual Suspects at Whole World Improv TheatreSince then, I've learned how to work a light board, manage a houseful of *potentially* rowdy patrons, performed roughly twice a month (or so - some months more, some months less), and had one very memorable turn on the Main Stage during ES's farewell performance in November ( Read more... )

As many of you are aware (from my incessant Facebook posts and occasional emails regarding performances), I've been involved with Whole World Improv Theatre since early 2012, when I started their class program.

I fully realize that documenting each and every improv show I am in may not be the most entertaining of reading - and let's face it, if you live in ATL, it is really better to experience it in person. I am, however pretty stoked that I successfully tried a new twist on something in last night's lab show - bringing out a character to use in a ( Read more... )

Last night was my second show at Whole World - Tuesdays are Lab night, which means that of the two set show, Unusual Suspects peform one set and the second set is another improv group from around town. It's a great chance to see improv done differently - last night's partner group was Salon du Shoguns - 3-4 guys who wear suits and do some pretty ( Read more... )

Last night was my first performance as an Unusual Suspect at Whole World Improv Theatre. The shows for the weekend are usually cast right after rehearsal on Wednesday night, so I didn't find out until Thursday morning that I would be performing. Still, I was READY. BS was the MC, and my fellow castmates were EK (who I took both of my classes ( Read more... )

As those following along on Facebook know, last night was my first rehearsal as a member of the Unusual Suspects cast at Whole World Improv TheatreThat's right, my improv adventures will continue into 2014 ( Read more... )
