The Third Thought |
Long-form improv in Tampa Bay! The Third Thought is dedicated to creating truthful long form improv. Since forming in 2011 through a random series of incidents, the Third Thought has been celebrating the randomness of life at venues including the Del Close Marathon, American Stage, Coconut's Comedy Club.The Third Thought brings something new and different to Tampa Bay as one of the region's only long-form improv groups. |
In a commedia dell’arte company contract dated 1546, members signed in agreement to maintain “fraternal love” and avoid activities destructive to the ensemble such as gambling with fellow players. This means that over 400 years ago, improv troupes knew that a strong, trusting ensemble was vital to a good performance. It also means that these commedia dell’arte players, our Italian improv ancestors, had the same struggles with maintaining a strong, trusting ensemble that we frequently do today.
