A sketch I wrote will be performed at the "You Wrote It, LIVE" event at the Improv Asylum in Boston's North End. It's called "The Ex-Tutor," and I have to admit it was inspired by all the years I've been a math tutor and ex-tutor. I'd love to see my star pupil/actress in the role of Ashley, and I'd love to see myself in the role of getting paid to write this silly stuff. What else can I do with a brain that's incapable of being serious?
Update: Here's the video of the performance. The cast was awesome. They departed from my script at the end, but I really enjoyed it!

Good grief, this was hysterical.
The cast was great, though I still say I was born to play the part of Gary.
The troupe changed the ending for the better, I thought. That's a tribute to their intuition about what will work onstage, not a criticism of your writing.
Glad you liked it. You would have been good as Gary. He was named after my student's dad.
I can see their point changing the ending. I figure they really wanted to milk all the possible "ex-boyfriend" references they could. As for the happy academic/romantic ending, I'm a tutor and I just couldn't go there.
