Cleveland Jams! 2/20/07

The sun broke through the clouds and began to melt the vast tundra known as Cleveland Ohio. People began to open doors and come out of their homes. They realized that there was more to do in life than watch T.V. play video games and eat left overs. There was improv comedy to be had and Cleveland Jams was it's beacon of light directing the masses to the Bassa Vita Lounge last night.

An impressive 20 jammers from all over Cleveland, Akron and surrounding cities came down to Bassa Vita and shook the stage for a energized night of improv that lasted over 2 hrs! Our amazing audience was treated to an incredible array of structures including: Movie Styles to the Olympics to Limitation scenes and to All Play structures.
Big thanks to Bassa Vita for allowing us to learn, play and entertain every week for free!

At the end of the night our audience and jammers were introduced to our new Longform Montage Structure. We had some of the best seasoned Improv actors/actresses working together (some for the first time) and introducing Cleveland to Chicago Style Improv Comedy!

Players included:
Charles Moore
Deena Nyer Mendlowitz
Don Mitri
Kimberly Pride
Joshua Logan
Steve Briggs

This 25 minute Longform began with 1 suggestion and intertwined each player within a series of scenes. It was powerful, fun and always a blast!

Our next jam is Tuesday 2/27/07 from 8-9:30pm Sign up to participate is 7:45pm at Bassa Vita. Spots fill up quickly so come down early! Everyone 21 and over are welcome to watch, play and enjoy!
