Stew Art Series: Washington DC

We could think of no better venue to finish off the 2009 Stew Art Series than the 9:30 Club in our Nation's Capital.  The final (S2) event was another great afternoon in crowd sourced improvisation.  We'd really like to thank all of you who took the chance and participated in the 4 (S2) events we've held from coast to coast this fall.  The reception has been unbelievable and the fun we are having with this reminds us just how fortunate we are to have the best fans in the biz.  We are going to be planning our strategy for 2010 shortly and continue to work on the evolution of these events (more ideas in the works). Here was the total list of used text for this past event. Additionally, you'll find a few additional texts at the bottom that never made it on screen but were entertaining none the less.
