Garage Rockin'

Channeling those good improv vibes at our last show,

Tonight RBIT truly became a garage band. Due to a scheduling conflict, we had to move our rehearsal to my fellow improviser Dave's house. It was a little chilly in his open door garage (or "gair-age" as he says it-- he's British) but we started to generate some heat once we began playing games. So, a half-time exercise where Dave and I were a father and son who tried to fix a broken down car (check the hood... or "bonnet"), a rotating scene game called Four Square, and a Beastie Boys-style rap or two. We also talked about dojng more long-form shows, which would be a fun challenge.

Our next show will be on Friday, April 20, at the Spectrum Playhouse in Lee, MA. That will be followed by RBIT's return to North Adams, MA, on April 21 at Mill City Productions. We used to perform out that way every week at the old Main Street Stage (where I was a company member), and I have many fond, hilarious memories... I'll post more details on upcoming performances soon.
