My Take (Shawn Whitman) - "Just Be Yourself...or Someone Else."
Interviews . Parties. First Dates. Someone always tell you, “Just be yourself.” Being yourself all the time is boring. Sometimes, you want to be someone else.
I love playing characters in improv scenes. I've been a kid, a jock, an old lady, a talking dog, a princess and the sinister owner of a tobacco/pizza conglomerate, all in the same show. Walking in some other made-up person’s shoes teaches you a lot about yourself. Would I ever want to make everyone addicted to pizza? You’re damn right I would. But would I ever want to kick over someone’s beautifully crafted sand castle moments before the International Sandcastle Championship? Nope. But I’ve played that jerk on stage and learned that I have the power to either support people or knock them down and I like supporting people. (But, knocking them down during an improv scene can empower your scene partner to start off with a low status, shift to high status and win the hearts of the audience! That's what I call support!)
The next time you don’t want to be yourself, take note of your feelings and thoughts and create a character. Maybe you’ll glad you were yourself instead

SHOW - January 13 - "The Laundry Line Show"
Hosted by The Great Kazoo!
7:30PM, The Highland Inn
644 N. Highland Ave, Atlanta, GA
Meet the Host - Jeff Keesee
Jeff - a founding member of IRS - is very grateful to the (other) Atlanta-based improv troupe "Automatic Improv" for its guidance, very very grateful to the (other) founding members of Improv Road Show for their vision, and very very very grateful to his (only) partner Shawn for absolutely everything else.
He can't wait to take the stage as the host of "The Laundry Line Show", a format he helped develop for the Highland Inn Ballroom stage. It is a chaotic, dangerous, unique-to-IRS show that keeps him on his toes...literally. You'll see. "Bring on the dirt!"
