acmespaceshipHere's what I'll be doing in Itasca on August 6 and 7.
Saturday
9:00 - 10:15am: Ukulele Summit
Bring a uke if you've got one; borrow one if you don't. Beginners and total newbies welcome. Also seasoned players, torch singers, recovering guitarists, Hawaiians, and hipsters wearing small hats. Let's show our love for the instrument Krusty the Clown calls "the thinking man's violin." Moebius Theatre (which is to say me and Pete Pollack), Peter Alway, Bill Higgins
1:30 - 2:45pm: Improv Games for Performance
Serious teachers of the theatre arts use exercises to help actors hone their skills at concentration, ensemble work and character development. That's not happening here. This is a workshop on funny stuff. Come play the games that get laughs at The Second City and make for a pretty silly afternoon at Musecon with Moebius Theatre. This one is mostly my problem
3:00 - 4:15pm: Write a Comedy Sketch
The page is blank and the clock is ticking. Can you and your cohorts take an opening line and churn out a script in just 75 minutes? And make it funny? Sure you can (or die trying). Let Moebius Theatre guide you through the process of building a scene, creating characters, establishing a relationship, writing dialog, and making revisions while your hair's on fire. This one is![[info]](https://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif?v=3)

Sunday
3:00 - 4:15pm: Closing Ceremonies
Let's just say Moebius has a cunning plan.
