* Guest Team; Not eligible to win
Planet Ant Theatre and The Planet Ant Improv Colony are pleased to announce the return of our Annual Winter Colony Fest. The festival will take place at Planet Ant from Tuesday, January 26th, 2010 through Saturday, January 30th, 2010.
Improv troupes (not directly affiliated with Planet Ant) are eligible to compete. Previous winning troupes are non-eligible.
The finalists will be determined by audience voting from Tuesday, January 26th through Friday, January 29th. The finalists will perform again on Saturday, January 30th for an audience that includes a Planet Ant panel of judges who will select the winner. The winning troupe will receive the "FABULOUS PRIZE" of a late night slot in the Planet Ant 2010 season (July 9th - 24th) directed by extremely experienced Improv director and Planet Ant Home Team member Shawn Handlon!
In addition to being on the Home Team, Shawn was part of The Second City, Detroit’s Main Stage cast for many reviews. He's also taught improvisation at both Planet Ant Theatre and The Second City. He has co-written and performed in such Planet Ant original comidies as "Sardines," "555-1212," "Before & Laughter," "Jim," "Ant-thology," "The Madness of Kris Kringle," and "Tales from the Script." He was the original director of Planet Ant's Halloween comedy, "Boo-Ha-Ha." which was recently revised by director Jaime Moyer. He has additionally directed "25" (Planet Ant), "Deceptions To The Rule" (Planet Ant and Century Theatre) and is the co-author and director of the very critically acclaimed "Cancer: The Musical".
Here’s all you need to sign up your troupe!
- Pick a time slot (along with a couple alternatives just in case)
- List the first and last names of all troupe members (Make sure they’re spelled right!)
- Include your phone number (Kept only for emergency contact)
- If you have a web site, include it also (We’ll link your listing to it!)
Then send it all email to Festival Coordinator Dave Davies at dave@planetant.com. Dave should respond to you shortly after it is received.
You will be the contact for your troupe so as new news arrives, be sure to let your troupe know.
There is a $20 non-refundable registration fee and we ask that all performers and guests pay the $5 admission fee to help us in our fund raising efforts.
Please help spread the word and plan to join us for this exciting event! It's ALWAYS a great time and I hope you will be part of it!
Thank you so much!
