I have a group of people and we are performing a special invite-only performance in just a week for our friends. I wish I could say I feel good and confident about it, but sadly, I don’t. We are so very, very, very far from doing the kind of show I’d want to see. And there are 101 reasons why it’s not working. Well, maybe more like three. And I’m not going to get into that level of detail.
Improv is so hit or miss. We had such a great practice last week that I felt like no matter what we did in the performance, we’d be awesome. But tonight, our practice was less than fun or funny, and I guess we’d do OK, but it would not have been improv I’d have been proud to be a part of. And the ensemble show — ugh. It’s so not close to being ready for primetime.
I hate that my happy, fun improv world has been infected with not-so-fun drama. I guess it’s inevitable, that the social worlds we live in will ultimately create dramatic worlds. I just want to have belly-busting fun once again.
