I love Tuesdays. IA rehearsal tonight. There is a lot going on for IA at the moment. We have our regular scheduled shows going on monthly at The Lucky Brewgrille, and now it looks like we will be adding Wednesday nights at Famous Johnny's. (Where Stanfords used to be at 435 & Metcalf) On top of that it seems that the Kansas City Improv Festival may need better financial backing than City 3 can offer at the moment and the discussion is pointing towards IA possibly backing the festival this year. Good things, good things.
Our shows coming up are a new part to our "seasons." Which means that Tim is directing for the first 4 months, he is not in any show, so now he can actually direct and critique in rehearsals without worrying about being in the shows. So far, I am really liking it. His directing is coming along nicely.
I mentioned the Kansas City Improv Festival earlier. We have actual dates and confirmed artists. I might as well post them here right. That way you know to make reservations as soon as you can, because last year sold out ridiculously fast. (local weekend may sell out this year as well!) Just keep in mind that the National weekend was PG-13 and up last year, and the local weekend is PG to PG-13. You have been warned.

Keith, what is your DREAM local lineup??
*salivates at the thought of the upcoming festival*
I think I'm going to have to convince Brian that September is a good time for our semiannual trip to KC. Yay!
