Don't Shoot the Scene Partner

I’m Michael Bradt for The Bit Theater. There’s a classic scene in the NBC version of The Office that finds Michael Scott taking an improv class. At one point, he pulls out his improv gun and shoots all of the characters in the scene with him. It’s almost never a good idea to do that. If you delete someone else’s character or your own character from a scene by killing them off or sending them away, that’s one fewer collaborator helping you to build the scene together. And it’s just not good improv etiquette. Stay in your scenes. That’s your improv tip for the day. Stay safe and stay healthy, and I will see you next time.
