Santa Barbara Improv Workshop

Happy New Year everyone!
I decided to cancel the class on New Year’s Eve since an informal survey indicated that most folk (myself included) had plans for welcoming in the new year.
Don’t forget that we’re having a show this coming Saturday, January 3, 2009.
I’ll see you all next year. Our first class will be Wed. January [...]

It seems like my ability to intimidate new players isn’t as successful as I’d like to think. Leslie and I are in a 5 Letter Word scene, along with Delois who isn’t in this picture. Considering the workshop is being held on Christmas eve, we still had a good sized class of 14 players. You’ll [...]

This was another relatively small class with 14 players. After the warm-ups, we were [...]

We had 15 players for the night, and we did the Tag Out [...]

I want to thank Victoria and Mike for filling during the month of November. Even though I was on vacation all month, the workshop still met every week, and by all reports the classes were fantastic.
I even got back in time to see the last Wed. night class. Mike was teaching and I had a [...]

I got a bit behind in postings, so I’m going to do a quick month’s summary to catch up. Here are the links to our albums for the month of October, 2008.
