Coming Attractions

Whew...rehearsal was great last night, Aron is the new director for this season. He has us analyzing our longforms, why they are working, why they are not working. I really think it will help us in the longrun. He has a theater background so he is helping us focus on our acting during scenes, and staying in tune with what our character's motivation is as well.

After rehearsal we had a very productive marketing meeting to try and brainstorm (and quickly put into effect) some ideas to promote our improv shows during First Fridays in the Crossroads. That's right, improv, down in the crossroads, on First Fridays. (So much potential) Not only that, but we are opening it up (slowly) to other groups in town. We have to introduce this scene to Kansas City, and First Fridays is a great opportunity to do that.

Tomorrow night we will be starting back up at Famous Johnny's. The owner is definitely keen on us, because he has given us another 8 week contract. As long as he stays patient with the small, slow growing audience, we should be just fine. The first four weeks were great shows, small crowds, but we did gain some returning fans. We will definitely be putting more focus into marketing these after First Friday in April.

What can you do to help? Just promote improv to all of your friends!
