Trying To Get A Foothold On The Performance
(I am in an adult improv class. Our first public performance is tomorrow night. The teacher is going over what students need to know about the show.)
Student #1: “Do we have to wear shoes tomorrow night for the performance?”
Teacher: “Yes, you have to wear shoes.”
Student #2: “Do flip-flops count?”
Teacher: “Seriously? Why can’t you just wear normal shoes?”
Student #2: “I don’t wear shoes.”
Teacher: “What if you were going to a wedding?”
Student #2: “I don’t go to weddings.”
Student #3: “What if I henna’d my feet?”
Teacher: “Okay, if you go to the trouble to get your feet henna’d by tomorrow, you can go barefoot.”
Student #2: “I just don’t feel grounded if I’m wearing shoes.”
Teacher: “Remember when I said last week that you can wear anything you want, but to make some effort to look nice?!”
Student #3: “Bare feet look nice.”
(Did I mention that this was a class for ADULTS?)
