So there’s this student showcase improv show that happens at the theatre where I take classes. It’s meant for people that are at the upper levels of the foundation classes and beyond. Due to scheduling students aren’t really able to do it more than perhaps once a month. There are two halves to the show. The one that the newer people usually do is the first half. The first half involves a lot of short games. The easiest comparison I can make is to Whose Line. I’ve done this show once before, and it was awesome. I think I did an OK job. I got laughs from a rather large audience and I came out feeling decent. I told myself that I would should sign up again, and I did. I’m scheduled to play again one month after my last show. I really want to get as much experience playing in front of people as I can. That kind of experience can’t really be picked up any other way.
For this week, I checked the schedule and noticed that a couple of people from my foundation classes were set to play this Friday. I thought that was awesome because it shows that even though I haven’t seen them in weeks it seems like we’re all progressing in different ways. Well, today I got BCC’d on an email from one of them saying that one of the others had to drop out. He asked if there was anyone available to fill in for the other guy. Seeing as how my goals seemed to fit in with that goal, I jumped on that email fairly quickly. So I’m now in the show this coming Friday. That sure is giving me a lot of exposure to the powers that be, isn’t it? I have to keep working it, but I can’t rush it. Eventually, if I have the will I know I can rise up. I’m not ready yet, but I will be. When the time is right, I will make my strike. Yes!
