Be On Time

I’m Michael Bradt for The Bit Theater. Be on time. Are you listening to me talk right now when you should have already left for class five minutes ago because you need to stop for gas? Do you have to cross the train tracks during rush hour to get to your rehearsal? Have you left enough cushion in case that bus you’re taking to your show is late? Believe it or not, creative people, myself included, occasionally struggle with punctuality. It may sound silly, but one of the things that will delight teachers, teammates, auditioners, casting directors, and theater owners is your ability to show up on time. It may be the bare minimum, but reliability is an invaluable asset in the improv world and consistently showing up on time is a great start. So get to class now! That’s your improv tip for the day. If you have a rehearsal, class, audition, or show tonight, break a leg, and I will see you next time.
