hi diddledy dee, an improv life for me

I think my improv troupe's performance last Saturday was our best yet (since I joined.) I had less feel for whether it was good or bad during the performance itself than I've had before, but in a good way — I was too much in the moment to judge. At the end, strangers were telling me it was a great show. One person even tipped us a dollar unbidden — we don't solicit donations.

This week we reviewed the tape, with sound, even. I avoided getting stuck stage right, but someone pointed out a clichéd arm movement of mine. And we found some things worth working on, but it had been a good show.

In the cosmic scheme of things, performing in a free monthly improv show to a crowd of about 30 isn't all that much.

But it makes me really happy to be a part of offering local, live, original theatre for people to gather for, to offer an alternative to sitting by ones or twos in front of the tv.

Gratuitous plug: next show is March 8, same bat-time, same bat-place.
