Tonight we welcome back Ana Hammersley for our 7pm and 9pm show! Ana was a beloved member of our ensemble cast who left us for Indiana a couple years ago. How dare she! But she's back tonight only. These reunion shows are always a lot of fun, so we hope to have you join.
We're excited to announce that we've added 4 new improvisers to our professional ensemble: Meera Aggarwal, DK Reinemer, Meg Wittman and Josh Hurtado! We'll be featuring each of them individually in an upcoming post.
(Chris Dinger would like to apologize for his collage making skills)
Really fun FREE improv class today at SAK. Brave members of the public (most of whom have never been to SAK) jump in and discover how fun this experience is. One more free class tomorrow at 7pm!

The busiest days of summer are behind us and our 7pm audience tonight won't look this full, unfortunately. That's a bummer because our cast is really awesome tonight (Emily, Robby, Mark, Lisa, David, Meera and Chris hosting). Like and comment on this photo and we'll pick several people to get free tickets for tonight at 7pm!
Excited to have guest performer DK Reinemer joining us tonight for our Wine Down show at 7:30pm! DK is an awesome performer and new Orlando resident, so we hope to have him around SAK more often.

On-stage POV improv scene from Winter Garden. Chris and Robyn reenact what they think an average day is like for the seated audience members on stage. They are encouraged with a bell when they're correct.
Big shout out and congratulations is due to our beloved member of staff Jeannine Meade who TODAY is walking the UCF stage, graduating with her BS in Early Childhood Development and Education! We are so proud of her and the accomplishments she's made.

We had a great time with the GuideWell Innovation Center folks today for a 90 minute show and workshop. We love working with creative and open teams like this!

Felt great seeing a sold out "P. Sparkle" show last night (our over the top, adult content show). Special thanks to the one guy (pictured below) out of 250 who never took his eye off me as I rudely snapped photos.
We have FREE classes happening on Sunday July 31st at 1pm and Monday August 1st at 7pm. These classes are for absolutely everyone! You don't have to be funny, but just a little brave. Everyone leaves feeling empowered and having had an awesome time.

Our Development Program has launched again with another cohort. These are all strong performers in their own right, and we can't wait to see what they do on our stage. Come see them every other Thursday (roughly) for the next few months. Look for "The Thursday Show" on our calendar!
Apparenty, next time it's rainy, you should come check out a show at SAK! We were featured in an article on Trips to Discover.
While rainy days aren’t all that common in Orlando, especially days with so much of the wet stuff that it ruins outdoor plans, that doesn’t mean it will never happen. The good news is sunny skies are sure to reappear soon and in the meantime, you’ll find plenty to do indoors. From fascinating ...
On Monday in Colorado we gave away our Executive Director, Chris Dinger to the beautiful Michelle McGinnis. Sorry ladies (and gentlemen), he's off the market. Also, Chris created this post...

This guy. Benji Hurlburt. Major in the Air Force. Dad. Funny as hell improv comedian. He's our special guest performer, tonight only, for the 7pm and 9pm shows!
Chris and Layden casually hanging in their green room before their private show at Hard Rock Cafe... A replica of John Lennon's New York apartment with the piano he composed "Imagine" on. It was all in our rider. Chris and Layden have super high standards.
We have level one and level two improv students doing their class-ending showcases today! We're always so impressed with how fun and electric these shows are. More showcases and grad shows coming this week (only $8 tickets)!
Want to try a free class? Register at www.sak.com/free. May 22nd and 23rd.

We're becoming fond of Chris's awkward on stage video-selfies during private events. This one was for the UCF sorority Gamma Phi Beta. If you're interested in a private event at SAK or elsewhere, reach out to Gina at [email protected]!
We do lots of big shows, but 800+ cheering women at Discovery Church is a sight to see.
Our free improv workshops have ended for this session, but here's a little glimpse. You would never know these people just met 45 minutes prior. Now they feel comfortable enough to scream "DIE" at each other in this elimination game. We have a few level one spaces remaining for a class starting this Sunday. We also have a few spaces remaining for "Improv for Anxiety" also starting Sunday. Everything else is sold out! www.sak.com/register (level one) www.sak.com/anxiety
SAK does private events and workshops across Central Florida and beyond. This was for ABHE (an association of Christian post-secondary institutions). We did some custom parody songs and improv. Video shows our sound check... It's not like zero people showed up.
Major Benji Hurlburt from the US Air Force was home for the holidays. Not only does he fly incredibly expensive aircraft, but he's also incredibly funny. Here's Benji riffing an old blues version of Jingle Bells.
Here's what a Les Mis style improvised song looks like from the perspective of the stage. Who knew a drunk Wine Down Wednesday audience would be so into musical theater?! Come see us for all our added holiday shows!
Shows tonight will be epic and super funny... And there are tickets still remaining! Chris announces the cast in this video! Foxtail Coffee also deserves a shout out.
We often begin our shows on a "blue" note, improvising a blues song one line at a time, setting each other up for rhymes. You can see the delight and surprise in the performers faces as they have to figure out how to keep the song moving forward. Here's one from a recent show...
Chris Dinger really doesn't want the rain to deter you from coming out tonight! Park in the garage and cross the street to SAK. Total wet time: approx. 20 seconds. www.sak.com
If you can do THIS (pair your name with an adjective and a movement), you are 100% qualified to take our free class. Here's a glimpse from the last free improv class. Tag a friend and consider joining us tomorrow at 1pm or Monday at 7pm! We have a really good time. www.sak.com/free
On the way to a private SAK performance in GA, we stopped to get a meal in Valdosta at Mo's Mediterranean Table (awesome food!). Our keys player Ryan asked to sit in with the jazz band playing outside. He was under-dressed, but fit right in. See him play tonight in the adults-only "Truth or Dare Improv with PSparkle" at 9:30!
First exercise with our free improv class students. They JUST met each other. We have one more free class tomorrow night (Monday) at 7pm. Join us! www.sak.com/free
A peak into last Saturday's 7:30pm show: Mark Daniel interviews one expert played by two actors (Richard Paul and Jaime Black) who have to answer questions at the same time, in one voice. The suggestion was "owls".
Have you enjoyed one of our "spontaneous" dance parties at SAK? Not totally sure, but the excitement here might have sprung from announcing "all you can drink" wine plus a SAK show for only $25. Our first Wine Down Wednesday is tonight at 7:30pm!!! www.sak.com/wine
Welcome back Mike Carr! He rejoins our ensemble after 3 years in Boston. I don't know how we got to this point in the scene, but here's the magic...
What makes Orlando unique? 1. SAK Comedy Lab, obviously. 2. A seemingly authentic Mickey and Minnie walking together, north of Eola, next to a parking garage, without a single human within a quarter mile range. Thanks Orlando!
