Season Six

Season Six of Improv Shmimprov started with the group's 100th performance, and quickly thereafter three of the founding members celebrated their individual 100th show : Nate Makaryk, Nick McGee, and Jamie Scheel. To "honor" them, all the Shmimprovers came together to hold a Roast for each of these players and put them back in their place. Still performing at the Chance Theater, the group picked up two new guest players: Nishita Lal and Ryan Clark. Another special event this season was a Showdown with another improv group in Los Angeles, the Coffee-Suckin' Grannies, who came down to challenge Shmimprov. Needless to say, our heroes the Shmims walked away victorious, the undefeated kings (and queens) of Orange County improv. Shmimprov finally took a break for the holidays after this, their longest season yet, and came back for more in January of 2005.

Season Six point Five

The construction had begun. The new Maverick theater was slowly rearing its head from what once was a warehouse in downtown Fullerton. Knowing that with the opening of the new Maverick, the Shmimprovers would never again be able to enjoy any degree of freedom on their weekends, they cut their Friday shows at the Chance Theater in the beginning months of 2005. Theoretically, season Six-and-a-Half was never going to be a full season because the Maverick was coming back. But the best laid plans of mice and men don't mean diddly when dealing with red tape through the City of Fullerton, so the Maverick's opening date was pushed from March to April, from April to May, and from May to June. Shmimprov took some time off, and prepared for the official grand opening of the Maverick on June 24th, 2005.

Season Seven

The Maverick Theater was back! At a brand new and permanent location in downtown Fullerton, Shmimprov was guaranteed performances until the end of time, particularly because manager Nate was also one of the owners of the new Maverick. In the Maverick's art-deco cabaret theater, Shmimprov flourished. Returning to its twice-a-week schedule,  Shmimprov was able to incorporate new and exciting ideas, such as the month-long celebration of the infamous Shmoctoberfest and the first of their infamous Drunk Shows which take full advantage of the beer license at the Maverick's bar. Co-founder Patrick Heyn got his 100th show Roast this season, and the troupe picked up a few more pretty faces into its ranks such as Amber Queen and Jax DiBenedetto. Even co-founder Jacob Russell-Snyder returned from his journeys abroad to rejoin Shmimprov in its fantastic new venue. Several other improv groups such as Offending the World and The Cherry Spitz Fan Club fell victim to the undefeatable momentum of Shmimprov, Finally able to complete an un-interrupted season, Season Seven filled a total of fifty shows and ended with a now-traditional eight hour Shmimprovathon to mark its short hiatus before the new season in 2006.
