Summary
Paul F. Tompkins sends his greetings from the shores of Spontaneanation and this week he is joined by special guest Michael McMillian of True Blood! They chat about what perpetual age Michael thinks of himself to be, studying clowning in college, and learning adult responsibilities in high school as part of the Exchange City program. Paul then is joined by improvisers Shulie Cowen, Marc Evan Jackson, Mark McConville, and as always, the wonderful Eban Schletter on piano to improvise a story set in a Mechanic's Garage. Oh, there WILL be a dance-off!
