It started accidentally. 4 VG interns getting food after a show turned into 2 hours of goofy conversation about art and bunnies with pancakes on their heads. Because of our crazy schedules, ZZ started a blog for the Committee on Improvement (NasDaq ticker = COP).
After establishing a quorum at The Price, we finally found a night we were all free to convene at Clarke's. All 4 of us are directors, have worked on various projects around Chicago, are pretty disenchanted with VG, and generally enjoy a high level of snark.
Currently, we are trying to pull together a showcase of short plays. Partly for an audience, mostly for the workshop environment. Since we all bring very different things to the table, it could be a really interesting, diverse night. Discussions about doing original work, Humana plays (road trip!), 4 different plays, 4 interpretations of the same play (Chekhov's Da Boor). Pub theatre/coffee house theatre/storefront? Very exciting thought. Right up there with all the wonderful things you find on youtube.
In addition to pitching performance ideas and play lists, we have also tentatively planned some theme nights. Mimosas and samosas. Anything involving Harold & Kumar. Now to pencil it in between work and rehearsals and interviews.
