Capital Improv

So glad to see that my town now has a Capital Improv Planning Committee.  I think it’s high time we merge improvisational theater with small town government.  It would make Town Meeting so much more entertaining.  Maybe people would actually attend.  Audience participants could shout out “new playground” or “community swim center” and the planning board could whip out spreadsheets and architecture drawings that we could all vote on.  I’d buy tickets for that.

Swedish Theatersports is an improv competition promoting techniques used in professional wrestling to generate audience reaction — now that’s what government needs today.
