THE NEXT BIG IMPROV SHOW

To promote my participation in this new format, I sent an e-mail to some friends at my work, so the linked text only goes to the URL shown. Let us kick it, old-school style, like your girlfriend:

Hello All,

Thank you!

I deeply appreciate and I am excited about your interest in seeing my performances at the Roving Imp Theater (http://www.rovingimp.com) in Bonner Springs, Kansas.

I apologize if I have not always kept you informed. We all become busy from time to time.

First, I have to share the big news:

I am one of twelve contestants in the NEXT BIG IMPROV SHOW.

The Next Big Improv Show is a reality- style competition, designed by the owner and director, John Robison (http://www.rovingimp.com/john-robison/), whom you all have likely met at least once. The contestants will participate in a variety of improv challenges each week. Most weeks the contestants will be eliminated by audience vote, but other weeks we will simply be vying for immunity.

All shows at 7:00 p.m. and are for all ages and sensitivities. To be more accurate, the shows may begin at 8:00 p.m., if they are second in the order that evening, but I highly recommend any shows preceding or following the Next Big Improv Show. Also, the starting time of the second show, around 8:00 p.m., is variable, but usually follows within ten minutes of the first show.

Arrive early for the 7:00 p.m. show for the best seating and to enjoy the coffee!

All improv at the Roving Imp is quality entertainment.

I will briefly be at the staff picnic myself on Friday, September 24, so I completely understand if one or more of you is unable to see the first show in the series, which is also that evening.

The best and most current information indicates the following dates the Next Big Improv Show:

For as many times as you all can make the shows, your support will be appreciated!

Since March 2009, I have also taken classes at the Roving Imp. Currently I am in Level 1A class. My next class show is Friday, October 29 at 7:00 p.m., preceding the Next Big Improv Show.
