I studied improvisation with one of the form’s leading lights, Keith Johnstone, who sadly passed away only weeks ago. Keith trained us all to believe that mistakes were gifts if you embraced them. I remember one particular example of this theory from a show I was part of. Three improvisors were doing a scene. One labeled another a cow.

Mia Carina was living in Florida when her husband disappeared. His adulterous ways, the lack of a body, and her mob connections (dad), made her a person of interest. It was time for a major change. She’s back in Astoria, Noo Yawk, living with her cat and Nonna (Italian grandmother). Her new job is technically the event planner at her father’s newly acquired banquet hall. In reality, it’s trying to keep him on the straight and narrow while running the business. The “newly acquired” means there was a guy who couldn’t pay his gambling debts and the mob was involved, and now there’s the banquet hall to run, totally legit, of course.
