a groundling

The Groundlings in Los Angeles is a comedy improv group that has had many of Saturday Night Live's greatest alumni grace its doors. It's a great venue to see comedy shows and they have classes too. Often times during the shows and performances agents and studio execs will come so it's a great place to get some air time. A few days ago I auditioned to get into the school. We had some fun improv games and had one where you had to complete a story creating as much action as possible with your words and tone but the story would change as the instructor pointed to a different person in a 6-person group every few phrases. It was awesome! There were other things we did too during the hour audition.

I officially passed!

So now I have the opportunity to take the first class (Beginner basic) where I will be in a class with 16 others and meet for 3.5 hours two times per week for 12 sessions (6 weeks for those non-math majors). I am so very excited about this class. If I do well and pass this class then I'll move on to the next class and I think they have a performance with that one. So that'll be cool.

Anyway, I'm pretty excited to be in the school and even more excited to get started in the classes.
