Yes, And...

By Katherine Lato

"Yes, And..." is a common saying in improvisational theater, and a life philosophy that an ad hoc group performing improv in Edinburgh learns to apply to their lives.

When the opportunity to perform at a larger theater occurs, one of the organizers grabs it, forcing the group to scramble to be ready. Aside from two professionals, the group signed up for an interesting vacation, so the performance is bound to have awkward moments. Their cohesiveness is threatened further when members of the group use the clarity of the stage to uncover secrets.

A couple planned this trip for their honeymoon. Even though they didn't get married, they're in the same apartment, performing as part of the Craigslist Eight. A teenager participates with her parents, and is determined to find out their secret, not aware of the potential cost. One group member's duplicity exacerbates the organizers' financial difficulties. Another member is preoccupied with seeing free shows. In twenty-four hours, they learn much about improv, themselves, and life.

Katherine Lato

Katherine Lato wrote computer programs in the telecommunication field for almost thirty years, taking every opportunity to write words in addition to computer instructions. This provides a rich background for her character-driven novels such as “Sticky Note Empire” where much of the conflict comes from forcing a mismatched team to work closely together. As the mother of three children, she brings her experience into novels such as “Making Family” and her Edinburgh Series of “Yes, And” and “Yes, But.” Working as a technical writer at Fermilab adds another dimension to her fiction writing as does her role as VP-Communications of the non-profit Partners Bridging the Digital Divide. Several short stories addressing digital inclusion can be found at: http://pbdd.org/creative-writing/ Katherine has been a member of NaNoWriMo and CritiqueCircle for ten years and has released several novels available at: katherinelato.com
