They discuss their backgrounds, how the show was created to be a fully improvised musical rather than improv with songs, and the origin of the name as a play on the theater term “sitzprobe.” Mike recounts discovering them at an improv festival and notes their canceled Villages appearances, discussing promotion and ticketing, and suggests the Orange Blossom Opry as a venue. The guests describe their Sarasota run at Florida Studio Theatre (audience-suggested titles, improvised characters, plot, songs, lyrics, and dance), typical cast and band setup, long-term goals for off-Broadway/Broadway or West End, and how to follow/support them via shitzprobe.com, social media, and Patreon, plus Florida workshops April 21–23 ahead of shows April 24–25.00:00 Season Eight Kickoff00:40 Meet Kiki and Adrien01:46 What Is Adult Swim02:30 Villages Show Cancellations04:46 Orange Blossom Opry Idea05:49 Origins of Shitzprobe07:38 Name Meaning Shitzprobe09:07 Future of Improv Musicals10:40 Florida Studio Theater Preview12:06 Cast Band and Revenue13:38 Alzheimers Tip Break15:25 Improv Song About Villages19:58 Roadmap to Broadway21:43 Where to Follow Support23:41 Workshops Dates and Details25:12 Hotels and Booking Venues26:24 Thanks and Closing CreditsVillages Vitality Listeners, I've got some good news for you.
