A Year in Pictures of Working

My old improv group, James Jackson, did a reunion show at the Apollo Theater. It's been well over a year since we did our last show. Beforehand, backstage, we went around in a circle, each of us telling something new about ourselves from the past year that the others didn't know yet (Nick: Arnie, don't tell us something you already put in the blog).

Here's some of the news. Hawley (Journalist) is starting a new job in a couple weeks. Carrie booked a commercial this week. Stegmeyer (Bartender) started a video production company with a friend. Rathjen (French and Italian Department Assistant) is training for a half marathon. Nick had to talk to his daughter, Jane, today about how she shouldn't punch other kids in the stomach. Jill (Accounting Assistant) is buying a second dog.

The show was fun. The stage was a little small, though, making it slightly cramped to perform with such a large cast. Maybe that's why we're all weirdly crouched in this picture, not aware that there's plenty of room in the frame to spread out. We're like caged animals set free, but happy to stay huddled together.

Afterward, we all agreed that we should do it again sometime soon.
