ComedySportz Performance at TCHS The ComedySportz High School League® is the largest, most successful team improvisational theatre program in the United States. Improvisation is played as a team sport, with two teams “competing” for audience laughs. The stage is covered in turf, there's a referee and the players are in uniform. It's not comedy about sports; it's comedy played as a sport. Because everyone knows what a sport is, there is immediate buy-in from
the audience; because it's improvisational, it's always different! The newest “sport” in America, ComedySportz combines the competition of sports with the artistic expression of theatre, where “winning” is only part of the show. In summation, the ComedyS-
portz High School League is the students’ game. They create, direct and perform their own material off the top of their heads, without the time to stop and question or deny their abilities. Our annual “Back to School” Match is scheduled for Tuesday, September 28, 2010 at

A writer grows up in Monrovia in the fifties - A Humorous Look at a Simpler Life, in a simpler Time - Book signing Next Month our character. “Till the streetlights came on” follows the crackbrained schemes of his childhood, humorous, dangerous, irresponsible – yet tempered by an uncle’s God -centered philosophy intent on teaching a child how to think. The tale brings to life a typical neighborhood in Monrovia – Mayflower School, Gold Hill with the now gone but one time infamous ‘Little Grand,’ to the arduous firebreak up Monrovia Peak. Yet the story has weight. It will spawn numerous discus-

Stephen Langdon: Back then Stephen Langdon played hard till the streetlights came on. It was time when chores were plentiful and toys were simple, when attitudes weren’t treated with a prescription (you just beat the kid good). Video games and shopping malls didn’t exist, and hands got dirty in backyards and vacant lots. Yet the world Stephen Langdon created in those vacant fields provided the landscape where he learned about trust, friendship, and problem solving; in short, the substance of
