Fill in the blank…
The thing you can never forget about improvisers is: This is basically our only option in life.
I love Sarasota audiences even more than I love: Sarasota drivers.
I have no idea what will happen at the 11th Annual Sarasota Improv Fest, but I do know for sure that: we’re going to go stuff our faces at Columbia on St. Armands!
