I'm still out of town, which means, obviously, that I missed everything going on in Indy. (Check previous blogs for what I did see in NYC.)
So fill me in. What were the Summer Celebration concerts like? How goes it with Symphony on the Prairie? Did you get to "With a Bang" at the Phoenix or any other on-stage production?
Your thoughts?

This year it is here in Indianapolis at the Athenaeum downtown, through Saturday. CSz teams are staying at our Sheraton from all over the country and even Manchester, England.
Speaking of Manchester, they were brilliant (in both the English and American senses of the word) in their match against the Indy team tonight. Both teams set the bar high for the whole competition. I enjoyed the match between the Milwaukee and Chicago teams, too.
One of the CSz competition rules is that the improv comedy has to stay family-friendly, which makes the fact that the humor is so funny and clever all the more admirable.
I hadn't planned to get to any more of the matches but now I want to see ALL of them! There was a big crowd there tonight, so I bet later matches will sell out. There is something extra high-energy about the CSz format in the big theatre space upstairs at the Athenaeum, too.
I only wish the weather were more comfortable for all of these guest improv players but ah, well. At least the performance space is air conditioned!
