Talking TMUM

Changes, they are a'comin'
I just got off the phone with my director/fellow improviser of TMUM. He had dropped me a line the other day that he wanted to chat with me about the show, so we set up a little phone meeting.
These kinds of conversations always get me a little nervous. I mean, I've been doing the show for over a year now & mostly loving every minute of it. It's a really really fun gig (as far as unpaid gigs go) and I've learned a lot by doing it. However, I have also come to realize that there is a lot that I have yet to learn that TMUM isn't quite capable of teaching.
What it all boils down to is that I need more improv practice outside of the show. It recently occurred to me that I haven't been in a class in about 6 or 7 months. I haven't been performing improv in a show in a show other than TMUM in five or six months either! The end result is that I'm just not getting enough practice of my basic skills. Soooo my director suggested that I get myself into another class if I'm interested so that I can keep myself limber and compete with the other members of the cast, most of whom perform on a daily basis and have been doing so far longer than I.

Another opportunity has presented itself as well: the Magnet has been trying to get a Musical Harold team into place! Rumors of such a thing have been swirling around the Magnet for months, but now it seems that it might actually happen!
I guess I just want to keep improving myself as an improviser and keep on making up songs. I don't care where it happens or how, just as long as I can keep on singing.
