This week on Yes But Why, we chat with improviser, Annie O’Connor. Annie O’Connor is a veteran improviser that has been teaching and performing since 1997. Alongside her husband, Levin O’Connor, Annie created NOW improv in Los Angeles. This is where they invented the New Earth Army improv classes for personal development. She has taught improv at MI’s Westside Comedy Theater (Santa Monica, CA) , iOwest (LA), Improv Utopia, The Verge Theater (Bozeman, MT), AMDA (LA) and at universities, theaters and festivals around the country.

They, like the rest of us, are currently waiting to start teaching and performing again. In our conversation, Annie and I talk about the role that shattered her confidence for many years. We talk about her first taste of improv at Ball State in Indiana. We connect on comedians we love: Carol Burnett, Kids in the Hall, The State. We talk about the improv communities she has been a part of: Cincinnati, Los Angeles and now, Bozeman.

Krisha & Frank are back on the podcast porch after an unintentional hiatus. Krisha spent time teaching and trying to figure out what’s next. Frank had a similar period of doubt when he was around Krisha’s age. It has been a year since Krisha was cast in “Shipwrecked” and quit her radio job. She has been accepted to attend Improv Utopia and plans to drive across the country to get there. Krisha was cast as Miss Furnival in “Black Comedy” at Pellissippi State from September 14 to 16, 2018. Krisha & Frank have each changed clothes in their cars after a gig or audition. Frank is concerned about the light fixture in his pool. Krisha attended a service at the Brooklyn Tabernacle and was moved by it. Some people think artists and performers don’t have “real” jobs. Krisha saw a meme challenging those people to live without any form of art, writing, or performance for 30 days. Frank and his wife Jere recently attended musicals staged by Encore Theatrical Company and Oak Ridge Playhouse. Krisha has a goal to perform there.
