Returning to Improv

After I left SAK as the house man­ager I stepped away from improv really. I was burned out and I just didn’t know it. Over the past few weeks K and I have gone to a few shows and then last Sat­ur­day I had an audi­tion to join the Tues­day night cast.

The audi­tion, I felt, went fairly well. Even the part where I stepped off the stage and took a fall. Thank­fully I’ve been a clutz for over two decades and I was able to catch myself and bounce right back up, how­ever the fall was rather sur­pris­ing and guar­an­teed my adren­a­line was flowing.

The pro­ce­dure after the audi­tion was that I would either get a phone call if I was accepted or an email if I wasn’t ready. I’ll admit, I was fairly con­fi­dent I would get in, but I had the lit­tle voice in the back of my mind nag­ging at me say­ing that I was rusty, that I wasn’t good enough, etc.

Thank­fully I was wrong and the call came not more than 30 min­utes ago. And so it is with great joy I pro­claim my full return to Improv.
