Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ana Bernot-Reilly
Q: What challenges do improvisers face when producing shows and running jams, and how can they address them?
Producers juggle many roles; better outcomes come from clear boundaries, shared responsibilities, and learning production skills (flyers, posters, scheduling) so performers can focus on playing.
Ana Bernot-Reilly
Q: How did Ana discover long-form improv and how did her early training shape her approach?
Ana fell into long-form in high school and SCAD, where she learned narrative through two-person formats and genre-based beat work, which deepened her understanding of story structure and character relationships.
Madeline Evans - Part 2
Q: What is your process of creating and casting your shows, and what has pitching ideas been like?
Creating starts from identifying formats and styles I love, then pitching to venues and leaders; if not accepted, I pivot and find other spaces. Consistently pitching and maintaining a clear voice and mission helps shows land, as does surrounding yourself with people who complement your strengths and share your values.
