Episode 7 - Christopher Simpson of the Contemporary Theater Company in Wakefield, RI (a.k.a. What's the Secret to a Great Marriage? Improv!)

Welcome back! This week, Diz talks to Christopher Simpson, the founding Artistic Director of the Contemporary Theater Company in Wakefield Rhode Island. It's a wide-ranging discussion, covering some very diverse topics, including:

• Improv Marathons (Chris does a 36-hour marathon every year!)
• "Who-Dun-It?" Shows
• The Challenges of video-recording Improv shows
• The relationship between Improv and Sports

Plus, Chris talks about a solo scene that turned into a terrifying "Go Through The Door" moment.... And how marriage may be the most important improv form you'll ever play.

They also discuss the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on theaters in general (and the CTC in particular). Like most Improv theaters, the CTC is a non-profit, so if you'd like to make a donation (or buy some merch) to help them through this time, please visit
