Since Chicago

I had the chance to meet many improvisers from across the nation while I was in Chicago. In fact, I am doing my best to keep in touch with them. Because, they are all trying to do what we are doing here. Grow an audience in their own cities, which in turn will help spread the awareness of improv throughout the country. In Washington, DC, there is a dedicated training center growing rapidly. Heck, 3 out of the 8 apprentice teams there were from WIT. (Washington Improv Theater) So, they must be doing something good there. Anyway, the networking was a lot of fun, because we all had something in common. Hopefully, that networking comes in handy down the road when we want to start bringing in better coaches and professional groups. It is a known fact that improvisers take care of each other. Only time will tell.

Was one of the teams oneeightyone? (or is it ninety?) I got to see them while in DC and they were FANTASTIC. I'd like to hear that they are getting to do cool things.

one of the teams was indeed oneSIXTYone (an unfortunate side effect of having a number for a name). They were really good... we saw them do a set that included a musical about returning a cable box. Good stuff.
