JCCC Project Improv

Introducing "Project Improv" at JCCC:

Project Improv is a troupe whose purpose is to entertain, enlighten, and enhance improv skills among JCCC students. By joining Project Improv, you’ll have an opportunity to rehearse and play improv games each Thursday, between 6 and 8 pm in COM 319A, plus participate in additional workshops to be scheduled in correspondence with the schedules of our guest instructors. We plan to be ready to perform full student showcases by the end of the semester, if not sooner. If you know anyone else who is interested in improv with a JCCC connection (student/staff/faculty), please forward this on to them.

If you would like to join Project Improv or just have some questions email Tom: tkessle1@jccc.edu

Best Improv Group 2009

Congratulations to The Trip Fives, Kansas City 2009 A-List winner for Best Improv Group.

City3.org's Revival

There once was a time before Facebook, and before Blogs. Where Kansas City Improvisers communicated through a forum called City3.org.

Well, that website now has more to offer:

There is a Calendar page for every improv show around this great metro.

There is a Blog page that takes every Kansas City Improv related blog and puts them in one nice and easy place for you to read them.

and of course...There are the Forums.

The revival is scheduled to start the week of October 11th...but why not just go on over and check it out now.

Exit 16 had their first show of the 2009-10 season. They put into action something they learned from Susan Messing. Don't believe us...here is video proof:

Kansas City Improv Needs To Remember This

Every time I remember we're all one thing I feel better. I can't be jealous, your successes are my successes and my successes are your successes. I can't be angry because your pain is my pain. We're all just one thing, comprised of atoms and shared hopes and dreams.

It's hard to remember!

There's a cat on my foot and a breeze on my face, who could complain?

Compliments of Jill Bernard

So...What's Next?

The 9th Kansas City Improv Festival came and went. Now, many KC improvisers and audience members are coming down from their high. So where can we all find our next fix?
