Second City: The First Show

Today is my first show on the Second City stage, and while I’m pretty excited about getting up there I must admit that doing a show at 11:30 am is not exactly Prime Time.
True, it will be a great experience and I’m looking forward to performing with my class, it’s really not that big of a deal since we are all about as rookie as you can get.

So, at 11:300 am, on a beautiful Sunday morning, my level C class will hit the stage ready to rock out our family and friends as we perform our hearts out for a whopping 17 minutes of original improvisation.

Don’t get me wrong, there are a lot of very creative and talented people in my class and I have complete faith that the show will turn out even better than I expect, shows always do. Many of the students have improved considerably since our first level and I have found it interesting to watch them progress. I’m sure that the audience will get a chuckle or three before it’s all over. Lord knows nothing is funnier than improvisation at 11:30 a.m. on a Sunday morning.

The truth is this; we are all just level C. It’s our first show doing Second City style improvisation in front of a live audience, and while I have had years of experience performing live many of these students have never had the chance. Not that my experience will help me at all, we are all the classic rookies shooting from the hip.

It should make for some good stories. I’ll be sure to post the results as soon as I’m done.

Wish us luck!
