Game Library: “From an Object’s Point of View”

While this can be a bit of a stumper initially, the tools required for “From an Object’s Point of View” will serve you far beyond the site of this one particular game.

Game Library: “Here They Come”

You can never truly know just who will walk through that door in “Here They Come!”

Game Library: “Home Shopping Network”

The physical playfulness and energy of this game can provide a nice short-form “out” if the energy of your show is sagging a little.

Game Library: “On the Back Word Endowments”

I like that this games requires players to both give and receive clues as the scene unfolds.

“P” is for “Pimping”

“Pimping” is a rather unflattering name for an equally unflattering improvisational habit…

“N” is for “Names”

A rose by any other name might smell as sweet, but a rose without any name at all might cause you some issues when you’re trying to buy one at the florist…

Game Library: “Naïve Expert”

It’s not just the oxymoronic game title that’s appealing: “Naïve Expert” combines endowments, talk-shows and obscure areas of expertise in a delightfully entertaining way.

Game Library: “Endowment Circle”

It’s worthwhile exploring “Endowment Circle” if you routinely find yourself assuming one-dimensional or simplistic characters and relationships on stage.

“E” is for “Endowing”

Are you maximizing the joy and effectiveness of your improvisational gifts when you “Endow” your scene partners?
