Improv-In-The-Dark

Saturday, February 23rd at the Westport Coffeehouse Theater.

I really love our posters. They are all designed by a very talented friend of ours, Jeremy Johnson.

A lot of new things are going to happen on this night. The Trip Fives are going to present a piece in the first half that Ed and myself created specifically for our own two-man show, with some minor alterations. We've thrown out the ending completely and are strictly going to focus on the opening.

This will also be the first Trip Fives show that will feature only four performers. Well, that's not entirely true. We had to perform with four at the last Kansas City Improv festival. Bryan had moved prior to the festival and it would have been too complicated to throw in a new person at such short notice. Besides, that four person show was one of the best performances we've ever done. Performing with four is fun, but I can't wait for little Miss Jen Roser to come back and play with us. Then we can truly be five again. (Jen, I know you are reading this!!!)

Another new thing will be the second half. We will be doing a piece with the lights out. We've made progress over the last few rehearsals, but i've got to admit, this piece isn't easy. It will be fun though. The final new thing is connected to the second half. Our friend Braeden Lynn will be accompanying us with music and sound effects from his laptop and keyboard. He has created show music for us in the past, but this will be the first time that he has every done anything live with us. I am nervous for him but I know he will do a great job.

So come out and watch the madness!!!! Unless you are afraid of the dark.

By the way, you guys don't know the meaning of brave the snow. It has been snowing here in Lake Tahoe since before we got here and there is easily over 2 feet of new snow. Had it not been for a big snow thrower, we'd have been stuck in this house.
