Bob, Brian, and Allegra are actively searching through the dump, which is their setting in this Counting Words scene. More photos in the album.
We began the night with warm ups that included our traditional 1 Word Story, then we moved on to our stage work. First was the Counting Words Scene. Then everyone did an [...]

No, I don’t require feats of physical prowess to participate in the Workshop. Here, Kathy has decided that “make a strong offer” in a 3-Line Drill wasn’t just a metaphor. You’ll find more photos from this night in our album.

The night started with warm-ups, [...]
