This is how long I've been doing improv...

When I think about it... it's really unbelievable that I've been doing improv for 20 years. YES. 20. I never say that outloud, because then people think I'm like 50... but the truth is, I started doing improv and sketch at age 11 or 12. The Half Pint Players performed and wrote improv and sketch all over Connecticut and a bit in NYC - and most of the cast was under the age of 15.

BUT what is MORE amazing than that - is the number of us that are still in the performance/comedy business!

Clearly, I'm still rocking around the improv scene.
Chris Anderson is still performing and RAPPING in NYC. Hell yea.
Dan Levy is a writer/comedian/producer.
Danielle Kaplowitz is an actress in LA - who just recently was on 5 episodes of Community.
AJ Tesler started the ITV Fest and is now producing/acting/writing in LA.

Our cast photo circa 1993?


I was inspired to write this after the Stamford Advocate published (yet another!) article about Dan and how awesome his career is doing! DUH. He is hi-larious. Read article here.

Good job, Curtain Call on creating the Half Pint Players... performers for a lifetime!
