The Fantastick

TheImprovMonkey

Took a break from doing improv to overcome a fear. I have not done Theater Acting for about 23 years since I was a Theater Major at Simpson College. I love to perform but repeating the same lines over and over again every single night sucked the enthusiasm right out of me.

To be honest I am not really a fan of theater, musical theater especially it just is something that I fell away from having interest in very quickly. I respect the skill & talent of anyone that can do it, in fact they are the best actors working in this world but I just had difficulty delivering lines with the same genuine emotion every day. A few years back I was tapped to be in a play. It was modern & I loved the script, could envision the play in my head as I read the lines. Seeing the character & exactly how I would portray it.

It rekindled my desire to perform live theater again… And my first role

And, designed the poster for the show:

Night of the Improv: Long-Form Go-Go

Where once was something...❌ Is now nothing. Like that & it's removed from space, time & thought. So don't think on it because it is better now. 

IMPROV NIGHT every NIGHT when it's performed well done! No cringe.

The Days of ‘Well Done Phoenix‘ improv, at Willow Creek Theatre in Iowa City.
A great team I will always adore.

We have landed on the other side of the Pandemic! Welcome Ladies & Gentlemen, boys, girls and children of every age!  Finally, back in the real world that we had forgotten we were out of. 

Creativity is pulsing through me as always but it is now given back it’s outlets.  Such a long time to be backed up without any release.  There will be a lot of it…  because I’m not done yet!

Whatever it takes. That’s how it always will and forever shall be… Here we go!

CHEERS, Josh C. Crawford
