What a great night!
We (Jamie Root Black, Jenni McIntire, Richard Regan Paul, & Jose A. Rodriguez) started the night meeting up and catching up with each other like we always do...while trying to figure out what long form structure to do. We decided we would do a Montage inspired by a motto...since Greg Yates had left us such a great one
We arrived at Coal...what an awesome space this is...if you haven't gone check it out! Thank you Alexandra Love Sarton for creating and providing such an amazing space.
We met with our amazing hosts Low Rider (Sean Rice, Gregory Coleman, Jessica Marie, Devan Seaman & Joshua "Should've taken an earlier flight from Boston to be there" Hurtado) and we started warming up. We did our set and it was awesome...we missed you Stephen Kadwell & Michael Aviles. We then sat and watched our hosts do their set...they were great. Then our hosts invited us to play with them in a jam...and what a FUN jam it was!
As we were done, Alexandra Love Sarton gave us a Surprise that Bob Kodzis had left for OFFSIDES. (picture credit: Amanda Wirtz)
Thank you to all that came out!
Greg Yates, we miss you....Till we meet again!

Hey All!

David Razowsky will be at SAK Comedy Lab in Orlando giving workshops in June!

Shape/Gesture/Tempo: Viewpoints Elements in Action – Whether you’re an old pro using Viewpoints, or you just wanna be mindful of these, using Shape, Gesture and Tempo creates instant character, dynamic and scenes without you adding anything but your awareness (which you’re already bringing!). No previous Viewpoints classes needed for you to take this workshop to begin your new way of feeling/being/acting/living! Saturday, June 23rd from 12-3pm

Sharpen your Point of View – The very first exchanges of your scene tell you all you need to know about who you are and where to emotionally and energetically go. Are you aware of that? Are you listening to yourself at that time? Hmm? Are ya’? This workshop will guide you to your point of view, and have you following yourself confidently, bravely, excitedly, and easily. It’s as simple as that! Saturday, June 23rd from 3:30-6:30pm

Pro-(Positive)Choices – A toolbox contains more than a hammer, so shouldn’t your scenes contain more than anger and conflict? Find creative freedom when positive emotional choices drive your scenes. Guide your scenes forward without a need to conjure up an argument, defend your side of the story, or your need to have your ego intact at the scene’s end. It’s not about winning our losing---it’s about keeping the scene alive. Sunday, June 24th from 2-5pm

Exposition is Your Friend! – How much info is too much info? How much do you need to define to get your scene going? How much “who-what-and-where” do you really need, and how do you know when you’ve offered enough? Know that you know, and this is your chance to know that you already know! Sunday, June 24th from 6-9pm

Each workshop is 3 hours and is $75.

Call SAK for more info, etc! (There is a discount for taking more than one workshop)

EXCITING NEWS! iO is holding their wildly popular iO Intensive here in our backyard in Miami at Just The Funny Theater & Training Center!

iO is one of the big improv schools and theaters in the world, and twice every year they hold a weeklong improv intensive in Chicago. These intensives are wildly popular, with people traveling from all over and spending a week in Chicago, in either the Spring or the Fall. To attend one of these intensives is great, but with it comes the cost of airfare, hotel, transportation and food. Cut to this incredible opportunity.

The iO Intensive focuses on the Harold and iO's unique approach to improv, all taught by their veteran instructors. In trying to build our community in Miami, South Florida, Florida and the Southeast, we have been incredibly privileged and lucky to have Charna Halpern (co-founder/owner/instructor at iO and author of Truth in Comedy and Art By Committee) offer for the first time in the US, the iO Intensive outside of Chicago, with the iO Intensive in Miami. Here are the details:

iO Intensive in Miami
Host Theater: Just The Funny Theater & Training Center
Dates: Monday, March 10th through Friday, March 14th
Duration: 5 days
Times: 12:00 pm - 6:30 pm (all 5 days)
Investment: $405 (the equivalent of $81 per day!)

Additional Events: student performances, Charna Halpern book signing, iO instructor performance, and more!
Registration Link: http://ioimprov.com/chicago/classes/io-in-miami
Contact: David Christopher - 305-951-1875

Slots are filling up so if you think you will, know you will, or are toying with doing it, do not wait, as space is limited. This is an incredible opportunity. Don't miss out!

*The iO Intensive is conducted and operated by iO, all registration, instruction and content will be provided by them. Just The Funny is the local host and presenting theater company for the event. iO will close registration when they reach capacity or see fit.

If you have any questions, from the intensive, to hotels, restaurants or the Just The Funny Theater & Training Center, or anything else, feel free to reach out to David Christopher, either through: Facebook, e-mail: [email protected], text or phone at 305-951-1875.

Thanks for reading and we hope to see you in Miami in March!
Ummm...spotted this last night on my way home from SAK, so I stopped in. This store out on Colonial in Bithlo says that if you attend the SAK Brawl for ALL Charity Boys vs. Offsides Improv Tie Breaker!, get selected as a Judge and make sure Charity Boys LOSE, you'll get free vodka for a year. Mike Carr, isn't this over the line? Chris Dinger, you guys better watch your backs!
More corporate sponsors for OFFSIDES, which is GREAT but...Hooters in Bithlo? Really??? And -- don't you guys think you should dial down the rhetoric? I'd hate to see Mike Carr have to impose some sort of gag rule or restrict these activities...and the Charity Boys seem to be taking the high road...anyway, really looking forward to the next SAK Brawl for All: The Rubber Match and Third Place! , aka SAK Brawl for ALL Charity Boys vs. Offsides Improv Tie Breaker! at SAK Comedy Lab!
Wow! Greg Yates, you and Jose A. Rodriguez and the guys of OFFSIDES really scored some MAJOR CORPORATE SPONSORSHIP! This is the sign at the WENDY's near VALENCIA in East Orlando! Great going!
Ok... I will be the first to admit my disappointment at seeing a team of two come onstage tonight after loving every minute of your (hilarious!) six-person team last year. BUT. You two absolutely ROCKED it! What a fantastic, truly funny and well-woven set. Everything you did was genuine and smart. Thanks for making the trip!
We had a great time at the show! My friend Fumiko loved it! She's typically very quiet and reserved but could not stop talking about the show the whole hour and a half car ride home! Thanks for making her first improv show memorable.
