Best Laid Plans is a completely improvised sitcom produced by New Renaissance Pictures. The show is produced without a script thanks to an ensemble cast of improv performers that includes Jesse GrothOlson and Joshua Adam Snyder. The focus is on a group of close friends who are constantly devising new schemes to get rich or "just get by." Many episodes focus on the various relationships these friends find themselves in. Executive Producer Joshua Sikora was inspired to create the show after working with improv performers on previous productions.[1]
