A Sense of Accomplishment

Last show, I received an influx of positive feedback! Several people said everyone was on top of their game and no one seemed to have  a bad show. With seven people performing, it isn't easy to have a show where everyone shows improvements. I am really proud of our group. We have been working so hard and its paying off. From the beginning of my blog until now, SAC has really re-vamped itself. Our crowd isn't dwindling, but progressively getting bigger. We've been able to attract a lot of new people to the show and we are starting to have a substantial amount of regulars! We have also tried a lot of new games and formats, which is essential to us getting better as troupe. This week Wesley sang a song on the guitar and then called out to the audience to help fill the words in to the song. The crowd really enjoyed it. During rehearsal, we practiced singing throughout an entire scene, but it is really hard to do. However, it's really funny and I thought the group did extremely well. I wasn't that great at singing, but oh well!

The whole improv process is so rewarding. Taking classes, you can't always see the benefits of what you are learning. Or if you study really hard for a test and you still don't get the grade you want, it cant be depressing. I love being a part of an ever-changing, ever-growing group. I can honestly say that I am a ten times better improviser than what I was at the beginning of the year. There's a sense of accomplishment there. I'll be sad when I graduate, but I know the skills and tools I have learned during my time in SAC will always be with me.

In exciting news, this weekend is the Improv Tournament. I am excited to see what works for other college improv groups and hopefully we can get some new ideas. We only have 20 minutes to perform, which will be a bit of a downside from our usual hour performance, but I feel confident that we have improved as a troupe and will be able to hold our own.

My dad's coming to Forth Worth to see my sister and I perform on Thursday... so I am hoping it will be a good show! He always seems to think we are hilarious and shinning stars...but I think he's a little bias.
