improv yourself

Capital High School's third annual first-ever improv comedy show was a smashing success. Last night ten CHS students (okay, one was an Olympia HS defector) wowed an audience of 70+ with their newly-discovered improv talents. I was lucky enough to host.

It took a month of training and practice--half of them had no previous improv experience--and a few last-minute adjustments, but in the end we ran through about fourteen different games with mostly hilarious results.

One teacher in attendance suggested that we put on a show twice a month, and build up a "cult following." That's just what we need.
