Diplomat Motel rehearsal at Gill Park.

I think I've written before about how the walls are usually filled with posters and schedules for children's classes. "Respect!" "Team Work!"

Sometimes a good improv rehearsal can mirror the simplicity of a grade school class. We went around a circle telling each other one thing we liked about the way they other person performed. Then we did basic three line scenes, focusing on just making sure both characters had names and giving at least one of the characters an activity to perform.

"Hey Bob."
"Hey Cindy."
"I see you're unwrapping that present I got you."

Straightforward but effective. Little skills that get easily lost.
