* Guest Team; Not eligible to win

Planet Ant Theatre and The Planet Ant Improv Colony are pleased to announce the return of our Annual Summer Colony Fest. The festival will take place at Planet Ant from Tuesday, August 17, 2010 through Saturday, August 21, 2010..

Improv troupes (not directly affiliated with Planet Ant) are eligible to compete. Previous winning troupes are non-eligible.

The finalists will be determined by audience votes from Tuesday, August 18 through Friday, August 20. The finalists will then perform again on Saturday, August 21 for an audience that includes a Planet Ant panel of judges who will select the winner. The winning troupe will receive the "FABULOUS PRIZE" of a late night slot in the Planet Ant 2011 season directed by experienced Improv director and Planet Ant Home Team member, Mike McGettigan!

A long time member of Planet Ant's Home Team, Mike McGettigan has been writing, performing and directing in the Metro Detroit area for over a decade. He has created several successful original shows including the Wilde Award winning Spacef*ckers and Whackjob. Mike’s talents have been displayed at various theaters around town including Planet Ant, The Abreact, The Zietgiest, Tipping Point and Second City Detroit. He is very excited about his latest project, a comedy webisode series titled The Ed and Moe Show slated to premiere later this year!

Here’s all you need to sign up your troupe!

  1. Pick a time slot (along with a couple alternatives just in case)
  2. List the first and last names of all troupe members (Make sure they’re spelled right!)
  3. Include your phone number (Kept only for emergency contact)
  4. If you have a web site, include it also (We’ll link your listing to it!)

Then send it all email to Festival Coordinator Dave Davies at dave@planetant.com. Dave should respond to you shortly after it is received.

You will be the contact for your troupe so as new news arrives, be sure to let your troupe know.

There is a $20 non-refundable registration fee and we ask that all performers and guests pay the $5 admission fee to help us in our fund raising efforts.

Please help spread the word and plan to join us for this exciting event!  It's ALWAYS a great time and I hope you will be part of it!

Thank you so much!
