September Show Updates

Shows on September 12th and 26th

Our last two shows were a huge hit and we had great crowds at the Blackbox theater.

We want to say a big “thanks” to all of our fans who made it out to the shows, and big welcome! to all our new fans!

Congrats going out to Steve and Nikki, winners at our nightly Motley Merchandise drawings. Nikki walked away with a shirt and Steve picked up two coffee mugs! Steve was also quoted as saying “You guys are great! I laughed so hard I pee’d my pants!”. Well Steve, your secret is safe with us!

The structures we covered in the shows were:

• Try that on for Size – Some fast paced miming action – tons of fun, and huge hit with the crowds!
• Styles Option  - Mixing up a story with different genres and story styles, creative hilarity on stage.
• Complaint Department – A character has to return an item which he has no clue at to what it is!
• Good, Bad & Ugly – Three…experts give progressively terrible advice on topics chosen by the audience.  An MPIII favorite: Be afraid, be very afraid.
• Lines from a Hat – Characters perform a scene while smoothly incorporating random lines provided by the crowd.
• Three Things – an amazing roller coaster of intense laughs showcasing some of the most creative performers outside of an asylum.  A huge crowd hit.
• Slideshow – One player shows off posed scenes from a fictitious vacation, with slides who have no clue!
• Short Scenes – This is a newer offering for MPIII, feating no-holds barred improv based off audience input – could be funny, could be dramatic, probably surreal – regardless – a HUGE hit with the crowds AND performers.
• Clap-line – A multi-scene performance blending dialog between three separate groups of actors – a cool cross mix of art and laughs.
• Longform Montage – Get a word and go!  Another new offering by MPIII, this is improv approaching its most evolved state – an unscripted one act play – are we there yet? Dunno, but its a entertaining and engaging to watch!
• Worlds Worst – One of MPIII’s signature games – combine creativity, wit, and an ocassional total lack of class – and you have this comic monster where they players give totally inapproiate examples of people to encounter in various audience supplied circumstances.  And now, for the politically incorrect portion of our show…

Overall the shows in September where a HUGE hit – a big thanks from all our players to all the folks who created some new memories with.

If this was your first MPIII show or your 200th (actually, we are on something like 344, but who is counting…) leave us a reply to let us know what your favorite games were (or the ones you can’t wait for in our next show).

Until next time,
