 Reggi began 2010 working with 2,000 high school and their teachers at the Missouri State Thespian Festival. "It is a perfect way to start the new year," Reggi said. "I have been leading acting workshops for the Missouri State Festival for over 8 years." The three-day Missouri State Thespian Conference was held at the UMSL Touhill Theatre. This years' highlighted workshop was his Instant Improvised Broadway Musical which attracted some 250 participants. Ed instructs the workshop with Second City Alum Darrell Barber on the piano. Students learn how to create instant musicals using special improvisational techniques. Some of the musicals that were created in 2010 include: Tough Stains with my Laundry, The Bus Stop, Cave Brothers, Little House on the Prayer and smashing musical based on the 1960's television series, Star Trek. Ed and Jared Neff co-taught the first ever Social Media Workshop for Thespians workshop for the Missouri State conference. Jared Neff is a D.C. based Commercial Theatre Producer and production manager. Together they shared their personal and professional experiences using Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, Flickr, Youtube, Vimeo, LinkedIn and other website management tools. A special 30-minute open floor allowed thespian students and sponsors to ask direct questions about social media do's and don'ts.

YES AND is the act of total agreement in an improvised play. For example: when two people play the game CHECKERS, the players agree to play CHECKERS with its understood rules. In the middle of the game neither player can change to playing GO FISH. This is true with Improvisation; the players must agree to everything revealed, always advancing forward.
