Comments on Maestro

There’s a lot to think about and process from this past week’s visit by Keith Johnstone. The 4 day workshop was a magical experience, as was the sold-out Maestro at The Long Center. I’m sure we’ll be making some more posts about it soon, but in the meantime check out this review of Maestro by a Houston improviser who made the drive up to Austin just to see the show.

I have been meaning to reflect on last Saturday nights improv show directed by Keith Johnstone. In summary, it was truly worth the six hours of driving. Now, while it was exciting to see Keith in the flesh and see him in action, I was so impressed by the improvisers in the Maestro show that night. I have no idea if those players were regulars at the hideout theater, but if they are any indication of the quality of improv in Austin, than Austin the place to play.

    My favorite part: “P.S. I am sure he has heard this a million times, but didn’t the MC of the show, Roy Janik, look like a Seth Rogen double?”
