History
The first run of Improvised Shakespeare began with a series of open rehearsals. Any improvisor could attend the initial rehearsals on Sundays in October 2007. At the end of the month, the cast was announced, and those performers rehearsed for the following two months.
The second run had an "initial informational meeting/rehearsal" on 4/1/09 before the cast was decided on.
The 6/6/09 show featured an all-male cast.
The 6/13/09 show featured an all-female cast.
