James Lipton: "IMPROV!"

So I'm set to start off improv next week. I'll try not to verbally castrate anyone; I'm not a fan of such tomfoolery!

Anyways, I've been tasked with creating a makeshift to-do list to clear through the Mac. Yes, I see the oxymoron in a to-do list for improv, but it's better to go in there organized than a complete mess!

Here's what I came up with so far:

• Create a Horcrux (or multiple ones) in the unfortunate event that I am obliterated by a phaser.
• Capture the MSN butterfly in order to use it as our mascot.
• Feed some 'delicious' durian to Bex.
• I MUST FIND THE ALLSPARK!
• Survive Order 66. Period.
• Get myself my own Garchomp.

Wow. I'm retarded.

Cynthia's Garchomp seems like a good lover.

Well, some ideas that are floating in the air include actual cuts this year. I don't necessarily feel that having people come and go would be good for the team. This is mainly geared towards grade 11's and 12's, as Mac plans on introducing grade 10's as she finds them. However, I'm a lenient guy, and awesome improvisers might show up part-way through the year. Besides, having a concise team makes it better.

Another thing I'll need to do is talk more grade 11's back into the team this year. We had some epically awesome people last year, but the scheduling often conflicted with their interests. I'll need to personally approach them, because who can't resist my charm? ;)

Honestly though, maybe some reasoning with them will help! I'm fairly diplomatic, after all!

Diplomacy achieves results!

Most importantly, though, I want us to be good enough to have frequent shows! More shows equals more publicity! Considering we're just starting off, I would like to have a show up for Halloween (speaking of which, I need to get my Jedi costume)! It was pretty darn spectacular last year, but I'll take a look into whether or not choir is doing something again. If so, that's alright. If not, more improv!

So that's my preliminary to-do list for improv. I also need to get that elusive Director's binder, but I don't want to seem overbearing :P
