This past Wednesday, we wrapped up our six week run at Chicago’s very own Apollo Theater Studio.  On behalf of Batterymouth, I want to give a big “thank you” to everyone who came out to catch us at any point during the run.  Thanks for supporting long form improv.  You’re awesome.

Speaking of being thankful to our audience, way to come up with some kick ass suggestions!  I’ve got to say, we got something unique and different every week, which gave us a lot of cool stuff to play with.  Here’s the list of suggestions, in order:

* Singing Telegram
* Venus
* Waffles
* Loose
* Carrots
* Treasure Troll

Yep, those are still awesome.

And, of course, thank you to all of the fabulous groups who opened for us throughout the run - The Fling, The Cosby Sweaters, Nipple Competition, Valid Hysteria and Salmon.  It really was humbling to be able to share the same stage as these guys and gals every week.

So, thanks again to everybody and be sure to keep checking out our website to see when we’ll be performing next.  I’m sure we’ll be adding some new performances in the next month or so, but in the meantime, next stop: Twin Cities Improv Festival.

This Wednesday, long form improv group The Fling opens for us, kicking off our six week run of Wednesday performances at 8:00pm at the Apollo Theater Studio.  The Fling has been around in various incarnations since 2004 and they’re one of the Member Teams at The Playground for good reason.  Every time I’ve seen them they’ve done fun, patient, character-based scenes that are a real treat to watch.  Plus, they’ve got some real rockstar performers like Heather Svoboda and Jamie Buell who are always solid no matter what project they’re involved in.  So, come help us kick off our run at the Apollo Theater Studio.  Come see The Fling.  Come have a good time with Batterymouth.
