five years with an odd lot!

This past three days,
Odd Lot
has gone all out
in the celebration
of their
fifth anniversary
as a group of
improv thespians.
Tonight was the only performance I could fit into my schedule.
But it was a good one!

Hearkening back to their roots, they had chosen "The Wizard of Oz" as the template for their zaniness! Trust me: this was not Kansas, for sure!
The audience, including first-time attendee Sandy, were still asked to contribute lines for the players to intersperse with their own. She was fortunate: two of her slips of paper were drawn from the hat!

Here we see the
Wicked Witch (Doug)
holding a terrified
Flying Monkey (Dorsey),
who was being
pursued by an irate
Flying Monkey (Maddie).
Dorothy
(the red-bearded Darwin)
watches from the right,
while Toto
(the dark-bearded Gabe)
keeps his distance
in a chair on the left.

You can't tell from this shot, but the Wicked Witch also is bearded, as is Glenda (again played by Dorsey).
The casting was done by drawing the names out of a different hat - and it just happened that the four bearded men ended up in the three female leads!
The Fickle Finger of Fate was at work, for sure!
That's the beauty of improv - you never know what will happen and it always adds to the fun!
Hooray for Odd Lot!
Here's hoping you'll have five more years of entertaining us!
