“V” is for “Volunteers”

  1. Another great post! And such perfect timing as I am starting a new show where the gimmick is to improvise only with members of the audience (one at a time) who have never done/seen improv. Very scary but so thrilling and fulfilling – the best human connection I’ve had in a while, actually. Listening to their stories and making them shine have been some of the highlights of the show. I can’t wait to do more.
