Thank You for the Struggle - Blizzed!


Thank You for the Struggle, our Second City music program show got canceled due to blizzard last Sunday. That means there are only two more chances to see it!

In the meantime it seems timely to look back at our growth over the year.


Our level 5 show was never recorded, but you missed Snowflakes, Resumes, Tokens, Cake Pops and lots of other fun stuff!

Here's one of the previews for Thank You for the Struggle, featuring some cool stuff which ended up on the cutting room floor. Guess which one I wrote!


See you at Donny's Skybox, Sundays at 8pm for the next two weeks!

Thank You for the Struggle!

Thank You for the Struggle!


This morning I saw on Timehop that it was a year ago today when I got the acceptance email into the music conservatory at the Second City Training Center. Our final class is this Thursday and our show, Thank You for the Struggle, opens for preview on January 4th.

Thank You for the Struggle!

It has been a big year for musical improvisation. Blank: The Musical opened off Broadway and perhaps has set the bar for musical improvisation. Studio BE became MCL Chicago and is now posed to be the epicenter for musical improvisation and sketch, if not just in Chicago then the world.

Last time I posted about musical improv I provided a bunch of links to related podcasts. Here are some more:

ADD Comedy Podcast - Dave Razowsky with Laura Hall 
Improv Nerd: Jimmy Carrane interviews Stephanie McCullough Vlcek
Magnet Theater Podcast: Creators of Blank! The Musical

Finally, I'm teaching a musical improv workshop at the Kansas City Improv Company this Saturday, December 27! It will be great to be back there for that!
