So, this doesn't have a whole lot to do with improv specifically, but I just returned from a great weekend of seeing new plays. Having just finished a six month run of one show while juggling every other aspect of my life along with it, I really needed to get out of town for a bit of rest and marathon play watching (Insta-culture!).
The Actors Theatre of Louisville hosts the Humana Festival every year to showcase new work by established and emerging playwrights. I regularly read these plays, but this was the first year I attended the festival itself.
Going into it, 8 plays in 3 days sounds like a bore to a lot of people. However, there is a ton of excitement and anticipation surrounding the festival that really makes it a good time. I went hoping that at least 3 of the 8 plays would be good and no more than 2 would be subpar (all in my opinion of course). That's pretty much exactly what happened.
Ahhh...and now I'm back, re-energized by live theater and ready to rock n' roll again with shows and classes.
