We rented out the Playground Theater on an off night (Thursday nights at 10pm) and began to run one of the most successful improv jams ever. The idea was simple - Not everyone has longform improv experience. Most people who get into improv comedy go through shortform games first. In Chicago there are something like 300 new improv students annually. All these students want to learn everything, want stage time and want to be seen, so we gave them a small opportunity for all those things at Open Court. It quickly took off and has continued to be the best improv jam around.&lt;br /&gt; Now I've brought it here to Portland in our beautiful Curious Comedy Theater. Thursday nights at 8pm will be our Open Court night. The night where all our friends and students can come together and experiment with longform exercises in a comfortable and supportive environment. &lt;br /&gt;At every Open Court we will do our best to support each and every player. All we ask is that two simple rules are followed: 1 - Agreement. improv is nothing without agreement. You must do your best to be on the same page as your team (and scene partner) all the time. It makes for better scenework and better energy.&lt;br /&gt;2 - Positivity. While we are using Open Court as a learning format, it's also a jam. A lot of times a Jam can feel unfair to people who aren't open to new ideas. All we're asking for is that our participants feel the welcoming and positive feeling of the OC and feed it right back.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hope to see you at the Open Court some thursday night.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/890163381748974606-2658239747603675431?l=curiouscomedytheater.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://curiouscomedytheater.blogspot.com/feeds/2658239747603675431/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=890163381748974606&amp;postID=2658239747603675431' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/890163381748974606/posts/default/2658239747603675431'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/890163381748974606/posts/default/2658239747603675431'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://curiouscomedytheater.blogspot.com/2009/03/open-court-continues.html' title='Open Court continues!'/><author><name>blob bladewig</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03289862207851949972</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_l7fisHFZ6QM/SPoWD6jIeEI/AAAAAAAABAM/qwOcKiGhf8A/S220/IMG_2314.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_l7fisHFZ6QM/ScvtY0OwGzI/AAAAAAAABU4/qdSoL54Sslw/s72-c/OC+image.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-890163381748974606.post-4236579265511024382</id><published>2009-03-17T09:59:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-03-17T10:09:14.996-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Theater'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='joe raiola'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Comedy'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='fools festival'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Curious'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='mad magazine'/><title type='text'>Don't be a fool!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_8mvaLdN17BM/Sb_Y_vrWleI/AAAAAAAAAuk/39pM1QWWKvA/s1600-h/shapeimage_12.png"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 175px; height: 156px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_8mvaLdN17BM/Sb_Y_vrWleI/AAAAAAAAAuk/39pM1QWWKvA/s320/shapeimage_12.png" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5314204674962134498" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Coming soon to a Curious Comedy Theater near you...the Curious Fools Festival!

You'll get to see some of the best acts from the northwest like the Brody Theater, Super Project Lab, The Liberators, and of course the Curious Main Stage Players. &lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;But that's not all! You'll also get to see amazing acts like Gustafer Yellowgold from New York, Unexpected Productions from Seattle, and the Great Miasma from Eugene. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Still not convinced? Wait, there's more! Sunday night at 8pm we'll be treating you to Joe Raiola, editor of Mad Magazine, and his one man show &lt;i&gt;Almost Obscene&lt;/i&gt;, a show all about censorship. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;So don't be a fool!

This new show will feature original sketches from the Main Stage Players, as well as short form and long form improv. You also might get to see some stand up, musical comedy, and heck we might even slaughter a goat. &lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Um...scratch that. We will not slaughter a goat.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;This week's show will feature the "Fit to Print" format in the first half and the "Commando" format in the second (don't worry, that doesn't mean we'll be performing without underwear). Each half will be about 45 minutes long and each one will leave you wanting more. But that's why we are doing the show twice a week. So come on Friday and then bring your friends back on Saturday. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Curious Comedy Main Stage Show&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Fridays &amp;amp; Saturdays 8pm&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;from Now until Eternity&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;$12&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/890163381748974606-2475178586740224303?l=curiouscomedytheater.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://curiouscomedytheater.blogspot.com/feeds/2475178586740224303/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=890163381748974606&amp;postID=2475178586740224303' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/890163381748974606/posts/default/2475178586740224303'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/890163381748974606/posts/default/2475178586740224303'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://curiouscomedytheater.blogspot.com/2009/03/curious-comedy-main-stage-show.html' title='Curious Comedy Main Stage Show'/><author><name>Nate Smith</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09068138262635285444</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://bp2.blogger.com/_8mvaLdN17BM/SCR7fj1OreI/AAAAAAAAAEk/UzgfzfwdKUI/S220/vectorized+stache.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-890163381748974606.post-6357491415462992672</id><published>2009-03-02T12:55:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-03-02T13:04:55.150-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Theater'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Comedy'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='dopamine'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Curious'/><title type='text'>Hurricane Dopamine</title><content type='html'>There's a storm a brewin'!

The Cody Rivers Show rolled into town with their two man sketch comedy show and a fleet of loyal fans marched in droves to the theater to greet them. Unfortunately on Friday night, for their first show, Mike (pictured in blue) was horribly sick and not able to make it to the show. Andrew (in red) showed up anyway and along with Curious Comedy cast members Stacey Hallal, Bob Ladewig, and Craig McCarty from they put on an impromptu improv show that knocked the socks off the audience. &lt;div&gt;Saturday night Mike was back in good health and he and Andrew combined their powers to form the 2 man sketch show known as the Cody Rivers Show. It was incredible. From synchronized monologues to full blown conversations on opposite day to time traveling radio interviews, their show blew my mind for an hour straight. And then, they did a scene where two chair made out. Weird. But awesome. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Sunday night they did a make up show for the people who didn't get to see them on Friday and their fans proved just how loyal they are by coming out on Oscar night to see the true Cody Rivers action. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;It was a great weekend and a lot of fun. We certainly hope to see them again sometime soon.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

Friday and Saturday night they'll be performing after &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Are We There Yet?&lt;/span&gt; They are amazing and if you miss your chance to see them you will never be able to forgive yourself. You don't want to live the rest of your life like that, do you? No, some come on out! We've got great comedy and ladies...we've got a really cute bartender.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/890163381748974606-6530047323914436556?l=curiouscomedytheater.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://curiouscomedytheater.blogspot.com/feeds/6530047323914436556/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=890163381748974606&amp;postID=6530047323914436556' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/890163381748974606/posts/default/6530047323914436556'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/890163381748974606/posts/default/6530047323914436556'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://curiouscomedytheater.blogspot.com/2009/02/are-you-here-yet.html' title='Are YOU HERE Yet?'/><author><name>Nate Smith</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09068138262635285444</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://bp2.blogger.com/_8mvaLdN17BM/SCR7fj1OreI/AAAAAAAAAEk/UzgfzfwdKUI/S220/vectorized+stache.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_8mvaLdN17BM/SZobThjr9bI/AAAAAAAAAuE/_FfjzH2rgPg/s72-c/photo1234835783367.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-890163381748974606.post-7470347991540357448</id><published>2009-02-15T14:16:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2009-02-15T14:26:52.472-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Shoshinz 2</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_l7fisHFZ6QM/SZiUYcjc0ZI/AAAAAAAABTg/0iVy2z8LgiQ/s1600-h/n636202717_2082632_371.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_l7fisHFZ6QM/SZiUYcjc0ZI/AAAAAAAABTg/0iVy2z8LgiQ/s320/n636202717_2082632_371.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5303151708931412370" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Seriously, Check out Shoshinz on their first ever American tour (West Coast).

Shoshinz, the female japanese duo, graced our stage 3 times and wowed us with their hilarious physicality. Without saying a word they had us laughing through their whole show. Being the fan of classic slapstick that I am, I was excited to see that this style of humor could still get big laughs in a time where stand up comedy and sex jokes dominate the comedy scene. &lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;If Shoshinz was the only special guest group to join us this week we would have counted ourselves lucky. But we had the extra bonus of watching the Liberators explode in our theater. There shows are always high energy and exciting. We can't wait to have them back!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;If you feel like you missed out on a great weekend don't worry because we've got another great one coming up.

Friday night we did our first showing of "Who's Playing Santa This Year?" On Saturday night we debuted "An Entirely Secular Totally Non-Denominational Completely All-Inclusive Winter Holiday Celebration Comedy Sketch Show." This show opened up with a slo-motion Santa fight scene which then turned into a dance number featuring the whole cast dressed up as Santa Clause. We ended that show with an improv set that took us to a snowboarding lesson that involved Scott Rogers and Bri Pruett flailing all over the stage and I ended up on the balcony at the "top" of the mountain. Good times.&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Then, because it was my birthday, Stacey and Kathryn went out and got me a cake. And I sat onstage and blew out the candles, and then by popular demand I shoved my face in the cake. Fun times had by all.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8mvaLdN17BM/ST2AMFateTI/AAAAAAAAAqg/q1wlKGF6lIw/s320/P1120844.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5277515283449084210" /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/890163381748974606-5916668819017229877?l=curiouscomedytheater.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://curiouscomedytheater.blogspot.com/feeds/5916668819017229877/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=890163381748974606&amp;postID=5916668819017229877' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/890163381748974606/posts/default/5916668819017229877'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/890163381748974606/posts/default/5916668819017229877'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://curiouscomedytheater.blogspot.com/2008/12/debuts-santas-and-birthday-cake.html' title='Debuts, Santas, and Birthday Cake'/><author><name>Nate Smith</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09068138262635285444</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://bp2.blogger.com/_8mvaLdN17BM/SCR7fj1OreI/AAAAAAAAAEk/UzgfzfwdKUI/S220/vectorized+stache.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8mvaLdN17BM/ST2D6lby8BI/AAAAAAAAAq4/o-zgH9tyL3Y/s72-c/P1120809.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-890163381748974606.post-1214012435585568465</id><published>2008-12-06T14:36:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-12-06T14:45:44.640-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Theater'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Comedy'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='super project lab'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Curious'/><title type='text'>Come See Super Project Lab!</title><content type='html'>Last night 3 members of the improv troupe "Super Project Lab" took over our stage and presented their show, "3Some." It was great. They did the kind of improvised scene work that makes me think I need to be rehearsing more. Everything they did onstage was meaningful and added something to the scene but never once seemed laborious. Seamless would be a good word for their show last night. They will be doing another show tonight and two more shows next week. The show starts at 9:30 and tickets are $10, but they told me to tell you that if you come to our 7:30 show you can stay for their show for free! Oh, and if you want to get into our 7:30 show for free, just say "And you smell like one too," at the door.

I was surprised how easy it was to work you into the show after you had missed two weeks for your Alaska cruise. Here's hoping we work together again soon!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Kathryn Durkin&lt;/span&gt; - constantly full of surprises. You have such a unique energy (which borders on child-like insanity caused more than one "What???" moments in every show. They were all perfect moments, by the way...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Noah Martin&lt;/span&gt; - your willingness to dive right in and try anything/everything that comes your way is inspirational. Thank you for learning to play a song that you had never heard before on guitar for this show - and continually working on it to make it as good as it could be. Not only will we continually be working and teaching together, but we're getting to be pretty good friends, too - and that's more than alright with me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Stephanie Seaman&lt;/span&gt; - It's always a joy to work with you, Stephanie. Any time anyone needs a positive energy boost - you should have a conversation with Stephanie. I love the way you view life and learn new things on a daily (or hourly) basis. You have no fear and I admire that in a big way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Les Ico&lt;/span&gt; - You are one heck of a great writer as well as a hilarious performer. Thank you for coming in with so many ideas and making this show as unique and experimental as it could be. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Stacey Hallal&lt;/span&gt; You Are Crazy. Thank you for being a big part of this crazy show - and being there for me when I needed assistance. You are a talented and strong person who rarely shows her fear.

Tonight nobody showed up for our sketch show. Frowny face. (I need to learn how to use emoticons) But since no one showed up and we had a bunch of wait staff hanging around and some new sketch ideas we wanted to try out, we did a practice show. We tried out new ideas like, "McGoogle" - a guy named Hank McGoogle with a kiosk at the mall who gives people information they are searching for. Or "Singing Cab Driver" - a cab driver...an indian cab driver who sings 80's pop songs really horribly. Or "Reading Motivator" - a british guy who motivates people to read. &lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;It's kind of cool to have our own comedy playground to try jokes out. If you don't think about the fact that we're trying to make money, it's pretty fun to show up to the theater and hang out with other comedians and goof around on stage for them. Of course, if you think about the fact that we're losing money...well then it's depressing. Please come see our shows!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/890163381748974606-7203071822027858305?l=curiouscomedytheater.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://curiouscomedytheater.blogspot.com/feeds/7203071822027858305/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=890163381748974606&amp;postID=7203071822027858305' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/890163381748974606/posts/default/7203071822027858305'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/890163381748974606/posts/default/7203071822027858305'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://curiouscomedytheater.blogspot.com/2008/11/practice-makes-perfect.html' title='Practice makes Perfect'/><author><name>Nate Smith</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09068138262635285444</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://bp2.blogger.com/_8mvaLdN17BM/SCR7fj1OreI/AAAAAAAAAEk/UzgfzfwdKUI/S220/vectorized+stache.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-890163381748974606.post-5656286816306650701</id><published>2008-11-07T09:00:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-11-07T09:13:09.824-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Theater'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Nuance'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Comedy'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Curious'/><title type='text'>Don't sit close to the stage…</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Unless you want to enjoy the show!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;As a member of the volunteer house staff, I have seen a few shows at the wonderful Curious Comedy Theater (a.k.a. 'the space'). Usually, the shows I see are observed from the back of the space.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;A smallish crowd last week allowed me the opportunity to sit up front and watch the show: the same sketch comedy show I'd seen several times before. Wow! It was like a completely different experience. Every physical and vocal nuance could be seen and heard.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;I realized how those little details the cast does make the show a lot funnier. Also, I discovered that those elements can be lost or missed by not sitting close to the stage.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;The nice thing about the format of the Curious Comedy shows is that sitting in the front of the space (to include the front row) does not mean that anyone will be humiliated or picked on.

In. Cred. Ible. Here at the theater we hosted an Election viewing event that was open to the public. The event was organized and publicized by Reverend Renee who did a great job getting the local community to join us in what became a joyous occasion. As we watched the news that Barack Obama was projected to win, I turned around to see a little 82 year old black woman, Annie Caville, with tears streaming down her face. It was just the most amazing sight I have seen in a long time.&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Kristian Foden-Vencil from OPB was there to capture the moment and he reported on it.

What's that you say? Too 2004 for you? If we really want to be hip we need to have a twitter account? BLAM! &lt;a href="http://twitter.com/curiouscomedy"&gt;Twitter account!&lt;/a&gt; Yeah, that's right! We don't mess around here. Consider us modernized. &lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Now some of you might be saying, "but what about the forums? What happened to the Curious Comedy Forums?" Well, the forum...let's face it, the forum kind of sucked. But, this blog can be a forum because anyone can post a comment.
