Best opportunity to catch these creatures is this Friday!! Kids show with Class Act Showstoppers at 7. Adult show at 8:30. <img alt="" height="968" src="http://www.zooimprov.com/cgi-bin/dada/mail.cgi/show_img/announcements/20230115160246/6cfa1d0de290fc3fa67d811b27c403ce_Improv-Comedy-Night-Flyer_1.20.23.jpg" width="600" /> Training February 6, 2023 through and including March 27, we will be opening our rehearsals to anyone who wants to come give improv a try! We rehearse on Monday evenings, 7 - 9 p.m. You don't need prior experience. None at all! It's also fine if you do have a bunch of experience! We'd love to play with you no matter how good you feel you are or are not. We'll tailor the rehearsal to the skill levels of the people who are present and have a great time! Improv is only very slightly about entertaining a room full of people who are not improvising. The art of improvisational theatre is an ego-dissolving, creativity-tapping, childhood-remembering, emotion expressing, relationship-exploring process of stripping away all that politeness you think is "supposed" to be and just discovering a world with the person in the scene with you. Who are you? Who are they? Where are we? What are we doing? Why should anyone care? Pro tip... we don't make it up, we find out! Come see how that happens! Please contact our primary improv instructor Aubrey Wachtel (<a href="mailto:aubrey@PROTECTED" target="_blank">aubrey@PROTECTED</a>) to express your interest and get the location from her and she'll make sure we're watching for you! If you already emailed her... uh... do it again! You'll love it!   Hire Zoo Improv We love parties!! Get in touch with us soon to book your party this Spring! Send an email to <a href="mailto:contact@PROTECTED" target="_blank">contact@PROTECTED</a> to get started! Zoo Improv performs for all kinds of fun events, public or privately hosted. We offer performances for all age ranges and varieties of groups; corporate event entertainment, retirement, birthdays, group celebrations, and workshops for team building and innovation, you name it. We can and will customize the show to highlight a guest of honor or a theme to fit the personality of your group. Consider hiring Zoo for a staff development.
