Cleveland Jams 6/19/07!

Even with Cleveland’s sweltering heat and humidity, a room without air-conditioning could not squash “improv fever” from infecting everyone present last evening. A group of 17 improvisers descended upon the Bassa Vita Lounge and shook the stage for a night of high energy, physical and hilarious improv comedy!

Group A
Deena Nyer Mendlowitz – Host/Performer
Marjorie Preston – Performer
Kathie Dice – Performer
Mike Ivy – Performer
Liz Huff – Performer
Brian Trapp – Performer
Dan Howard – Performer
Marc Ehrenreich – Performer
John Cesa – Performer

Group B
Don Mitri – Host/Performer
Andrew Jorgensen – Performer
Ron Fatica – Performer
Dan Breuler – Performer
Mike Synk – Performer
Robyn Cooper – Performer
Chris Waterman – Performer
Matt Rosfelder – Performer

The crowd was treated to a night that included 11 structures ranging from all plays, style pieces, competition, 2-3-4 player scenes, limitation scenes and a veteran spotlight. The veteran scene was Walkout and each person on stage gets an everyday word. (the,this,and…) The scene begins and every time a players’ word is spoken they must enter or exit the scene and justify both. The night ended with a fantastic all play montage. The suggestion was “Dazed and Confused”. From that suggestion a series of different scenes were spawned.
