My weekend was good. Saturday was pretty relaxing. Got through a few library books that I had to return by tomorrow. Yesterday was long and intense, but fun. Auditioned to return to my main improv troupe YUM, and learned they might add me to one of their other groups as well, which I'm both nervous and excited about. Their format is more challenging and something I've told people I don't think I could do, but that's one of the reasons I ended up saying I'd be up for the challenge of doing both groups. The other reasons were, I'd get to work with one of my favourite improv teachers again, because he directs them, and I wouldn't have to pay anything extra to be part of it, so it's more improv training and shows with no added cost. Not everyone was offered this kind of opportunity too, so I felt very privileged to be asked if I was interested. I guess all my hard work over the last couple of years is paying off.
Additionally, I produced my first improv show. There were some snags, and we didn't sell quite enough tickets to break even, but we were only out about $40 for it, so that's not so bad. The most important part and why I'd call it a success anyway is that I'd managed to do a pretty good job of bringing together people from two different improv theatres - both on stage and in the audience - and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. There were even a few non improvisers in the audience. It's this kind of thing that reminds me how much I've grown as a person over the years, because I never used to be capable of being social enough to pull off something like that. I wasn't the kind of organiser that people wanted to do things with.
