This past fall I have been busy working with area improv groups as a consultant and coach for their troupes. I am proud to announce that my 1st collaboration troupe will be making their debut performance December 9th (Wednesday) at Drunken Monkey Cafe in Orlando, FL.  The troupe is DROLL ACADEMY which features Orlando performers Dan Collins and Adam Sharf in a two-man improvised show.  My role is that of director/coach/consultant to DROLL ACADEMY. 

These two performers have been a blast to work with.  They are very eccentric personalities that truly bond well together as they explore suggestions from audience members and create scenes based on those ideas. Working with Dan and Adam, we hope to live up to our motto: "Two guys doing real life in a made up way."  They desire to explore life and the myriad stories audience members share in a way that's fun, relatable, energizing, and organic.  My job as a director/coach is helping their vision to reality by sharing theatrical techniques to aid their shared sense for character/relationship based stories.  As I culture the technical aspects of the show, I am mindful to not spoil the natural charm, empathy, playfulness, and humor Dan and Adam naturally posess.  They are very charming!  And extremely smart! 

Please join us on Facebook or Twitter just look for DROLL ACADEMY.

Hope to see you at the Drunken Monkey in Orlando, FL on Wednesday night very soon.  And as always, please support live theater!
