The Future
The Kansas City Star has been discussing downtown's revival and future for the past 3 days. I can't help but wonder how Kansas City Improv plays into that as well. Kansas City has a decent live theater district, a rapidly growing arts district in the crossroads, and a revival of downtown dwellers. I know it takes baby steps, but it would be nice to see improv continue to grow with the revived and growing downtown. The Festival is back and that helps a lot. Joint shows are becoming more and more, which helps a lot. Groups want to help each other, not compete with one another. But in my opinion, if we want this to be successful, we have to continue to put forth the effort to build it, we can't get complacent and be happy with what we have. We have to continue to strive to put on great shows and educate those that are interested in what we love to do.

It would be great to see KC Improv grow along with the rest of KC arts. But our audience awareness is too poor to even be considered in the same league with the local theater and art scene. Sure, we're better than they are, but their core audiences are sheep. They go where the people tell them. And currently there are no people telling them to see improv. That's what us improvisers have to do.
