The Ten Commandments

Hey -- for those interested in the craft of improv, I found these "Ten Commandments" at humanpingpongball.com and thought they were pretty good. The site's a pretty good resource, so cheeeck it out. Of course, nothing is ever set in stone with improv, but, well, see these more as "guidelines."

• Thou shalt not block
• Thou shalt always retain focus
• Thou shalt not shine above thy team-mates
• To gag is to commit a sin that will be paid for
• Thou shalt always be changed by what is said to you
• Thou shalt not waffle
• When in doubt, break the routine
• To wimp is to show thy true self
• (S)he what tries to be clever is not; while (s)he that is clever doesn't try
• When thy faith is low, thy spirit weak, thy good fortune strained, and thy team losing, be comforted and smile, because it just doesn't matter.

Martinsville

Gordon winning makes a happy improvisor. Here are some sites I've been infatuated with lately:
Wikipedia -- put "improvisational theatre" in their search engine and you should find a link to an improv Wiki, which is pretty kick ass. Or just start reading. Good stuff.
Star Wars.com -- HOLDEN said it best; you wanna punch George Lucas everytime you think of things like, "Mee-sa so happy to-sa see-sa you-sa!," but then a trailer comes for a new Star Wars and suddenly I'm as giddy as a school girl.
eHow.com -- where howstuffworks.com tells you how time travel works, eHow fills you in on the other stuff, like, changing your oil, or how to act on a date.

I linked to this interview from Boing Boing. Its about what people find funny and why. Interesting stuff, but specific information is sparse.

GEVA COMEDY IMPROV is victorious again!!!

What a fantastic weekend of shows! We were really excited to see, yet again, so many people come out and enjoy our show last night! Teams DUSTY HOFFMAN and RUBBER REDFORD battled it out and it came down to a tie-breaker in which RUBBER REDFORD claimed victory! Thanks to everyone who came out this weekend and we'll see you on April 22nd!!!

The view from the host's stand -- the gang performs Saturday Night.

We had a great round of Theatre Sports last night, but I forgot my camera, so I didn't get any pictures -- which is why I posted this picture from a news story that was out a few days ago. (can you find the special "Tim" significance of this picture?) The crowd was nutty, the scenes were great, and everyone had a great time. Thanks to everyone who came out!!! Tonight's show starts at 10:30pm! Get your tickets at www.gevatheatre.org.
