Kansas City linked to Chicago Improv Festival

We were looking through some of the groups that are going to be performing at this years Chicago Improv Festival and a funny thing occurred to us. The Kansas City Improv community is connected to the festival more than we thought. Looking through the photos you will see:

Bassprov: Featuring Joe Bill and Mark Sutton, instructors and performers in several Kansas City Improv Festivals. Mark Sutton often teaches improv to the Exit 16 high school improv troupe on their trips to Chicago.

Children of a Lesser God: Featuring Susan Messing, who regularly teaches improv to the Exit 16 high school improv troupe on their trips to Chicago

Drum Machine: Featuring Jill Bernard, Instructor and Performer at the 7th and 8th Kansas City Improv Festival, and overall great friend to the Kansas City Improv community.

JTS Brown reunion show: Featuring Kansas City Improv natives Jason Sudeikis and Ed Goodman

Revolver: Featuring Kansas City Improv Native Ryan Dolan

Scram: Featuring Joe Bill and Jill Bernard. This photo was taken at last years Kansas City Improv Festival by the wonderful improv photographer Chris Thomas

and of course, Kansas City's very own, Improv-Abilities. Chosen to be an apprentice team at this years Chicago Improv Festival.
