Mosaic

We began planning for the next Kansas City Improv Festival today. Yay! Mostly just a 'what went right/wrong' recap, which is what your first meeting should be, but it's exciting to be thinking about this again. Jason brought the girls out after the meeting and we had coffee and talked and hung out, which was nice. I had to be at the Fishtank pretty early today, though, because one of the groups asked if we could reposition the stage to another part of the theater. Now, I know that sounds crazy, but it's really not. Part of the reason we booked this space is because the venue is completely adaptable. Nothing except the walls are nailed down and immovable. So we picked up the platforms that make up the stage, moved them to the other side, then got ladders and repositioned the lighting. It really didn't take as long as I thought it would, which was great! We got the same number of chairs into the space with the reconfigured setting, and even had enough room leftover to create a small lounge for the improvisers for between sets. Nice. I think we might just do it this way again. The show went really well, great crowd, too! After the show I helped clean up the theater then went to McCoy's to talk to the after Thunderdome crowd. It's weird not being involved in this round of Thunderdome, but it was nice to be done in time to talk to everyone. Lots of people asked about the shows at the Fishtank and expressed an interest in doing a show there at some point. Sweet! I can't wait to see what the future brings to this enterprise!
