its funny how many never talk about the work side of improv! Many want to just be in the spot lite! Be the star! there is a lot that goes on before the lights go up! and even when the lights go down! I laugh when i hear people say " oh its improv, it can be done anywhere, anytime, you can pretty much do what you want when you make it up". the little kid in me just wants to punch them in the face! because that belittles all the work that goes in to making improv happen. so that no one gets hurt, players or audience, no one gets offended, no one get sued, making sure that the locations guild lines are followed be it by the owner, city or town. If anything happens good the players will ravel in it and have a great time! if anything bad happens the person or people that work behind the scene setting everything up that will take the brunt of it. I am just sending this out here because things don't just happen! there is a lot of troupes out there that work very hard for each and every show they put on.
my question for thought is this " If you show up 5 minutes before a show and leave 10 minutes after the show did you really do the essences of improv or where you just present on stage to be in the light." just something to think about.
