You're an improviser on one of the theater's house teams, The Lament. Tonight is Harold Night, the weekly showcase when the house teams perform. You'd like a little insurance you're going to have a good show. [para]Here's the plan: There are 8 teachers spread throughout the theatre. They will each give you an improv lesson in exchange for a gift. Go inside, find the gifts, find the teachers, get the lessons. After you have all the lessons, find your team and do your show.".
