I am excited to be part of the December 19th Perfect Match show, performing the spoken word poem "Knock Knock" by Daniel Beaty: Perfect Match is an improv comedy show where we bring the characters and the audience decides how they come together. The show has two parts. In the first part, eight improvisers will [...]
With three years under our belt, I want to share three pitfalls I have encountered from producing/performing an improvised show based on a known piece of fiction.
