Episode 3 - Everything Improv

O-Town Dreamers

On this episode of O-Town Dreamers, we're honored to speak with writer, director, actor, improviser, and theme park veteran John Connon. We talk all things improv, and why it's such a useful skill for any performer. He talks about his big decision after graduating from University of Michigan and deciding where to take his performing career and how he found his way to O-Town. We play a hilarious game of Pitch Meeting where we create a new show for Universal Studios and he talks about his favorite gigs. He also proves that you can have a fantastic quality of life doing everything from writing your own scripts and being creative to pay your bills while maintaining a comfortable lifestyle.
