Sticks Author: Steve You can ask anybody and they’ll tell you that I’m terrifically heroic. It comes first probably from my physical gifts. I basically feel obligated to save people and animals and to do what’s right and aggressive and patriotic for my country. When you are blessed with a 40-inch waist and hidden cheekbones, [...]

Let Me Tell You About Chris M
Sticks Author: Steve Let me tell you about my friend Chris M. After that, I’ll tell you why his intro to our performance last Friday at Playhouse On Park in West Hartford mattered. Chris is a bit older than most of us. Older enough than me that I can remember my impressions about him from [...]

Funny Search Terms
Sticks Author: Steve This barely counts as a blog entry, but this stuff makes me laugh. Here are some actual, weird search terms people have used to find this little blog: “She out wrestled me and tickled me silly.” I don’t know the context for this search nor do I know why it pointed to [...]

Improv In The Workplace
Sticks Author: Steve The other day I was totally making something up at work. It was probably nothing too major as far as you know, but maybe I was making up what I actually do for a living or maybe it was about my background being felony free or maybe I was just making up [...]

I (Should) Always Feel Like Someone Is Watching Me
Sticks Author: Chris B With a scripted show, you never really know what may happen – an actor may forget her line or pages of lines (My Fair Lady, 1993), the power may go out and leave you acting into a black abyss (Into the Woods, 2005), or the flat you worked so hard to [...]

There Was An Audience And Everything!
Sticks Author: Steve I really recommend that when you are 12 or so you start hanging around with smart, funny, talented stagey types. It’s about the best thing you can do if in the future you want to try and learn the Harold. It’s what I did. We did our first public Harolds last Friday [...]

Last Rehearsal And Last Supper
Sticks Author: Steve No seriously. I just ate dinner and it’s probably my last one. It was pork that I grilled for my wife and kids and I think I undercooked it. So, it’s obvious that I’m going to die probably right after rehearsal tonight. What does this mean? First, it means that I’ll probably [...]

Back In The Saddle On A Horse With No Name Because There Weren’t Any Actual Horses
Sticks Author: Steve Well I guess we were on a break. It’s not like we planned it and it’s not like it was anybody’s fault except that it probably was. It was probably Allison’s fault. That’s what I’m declaring now anyway. It was Allison’s fault that we just couldn’t get along any longer. You know [...]

Open Your Mind To Accept And Build
Sticks Author: Jesse Going to the Second City performance was a great chance to watch some masters at this craft work. There was one skit that particularly tickled me. It starts off innocently enough with two actors mentioning to each other how whenever you go home, people treat you differently. It’s an offhand comment said [...]
