New Friends

As we've been preparing for our Northwest tour, the Stick Horses have been living and breathing improv. It's been a good, bonding time. Last week when we were up at the Improv Hootenanny in Denver, we finally met RiP (which stands for "Repertory Improv Players") — the only other known Colorado Springs improv troupe.

I first heard about RiP when I attended a play at the Colorado Springs Repertory Theater last spring. Kaleb, one of the members of RiP, was in the show. I tried (in vain) to track them down. A few weeks ago, I finally discovered them on myspace. And then a week ago we bumped into each other after the Hootenanny.

On Saturday night, RiP member Teddy checked out our show at the Broadmoor, and last night Hunter, Jared and I hit the Hootenanny to see RiP in action. They were great! We're already plotting to combine our talents in a joint show. Making new friends is always exciting. Making new improv friends is even better.
