| It all started way back in 1921, of course we had to call it nine-teen dickety one, cause the germans stole our word for twenty. After a hard day's work, it was difficult to find entertainment. The Atari just wasn't cutting it. We needed something more. Along came a fellow with gold teeth and even shinier new ideas. He showed us the art of improv highlated by such games as "space jump" and "let's make a date". This was the only game that women were allowed to participate in, setting a precedent for modern theater we see today. One night, while nestled around our camp fire, we decided that our group should have a catchy title. After many hours of sitting in the hay and tickling eachother with.... hay, we came up with the name "Tickle me hay", but no schools would let us advertise with this name because of its suggestive nature. Thus the name was changed to the more appropraite "Tickle me Pickle". So, here were are today, still going strong with a few original members and many excited new ones. We look forward to another eighty years of improvisational greatness with help of interested youth like yourselves. |
