Everything's Important

Everything should be important.

I’m Michael Bradt for The Bit Theater. Of course the things that are said onstage are important to you as an improviser. You need to hear and be aware of all those things. In addition, if everything that happens in a scene is important to your character, that will invariably make for a more interesting scene. In and of itself, your character’s car breaking down could be interesting, but if your character needed the car to drive across the country in a race against an eccentric millionaire, that’s instantly more interesting. Everything should be important. That’s your improv tip for the day. Stay safe, stay healthy, love each other, and I will see you next time.
