Improv Classes Start January 6-7 At Unscrewed Theater

 

Not Burnt Out Just Unscrewed (NBOJU) players make Improv look simple (And hilarious!), don't they? I bet you think you could do it – and you're right! You can! Even if you don't consider yourself a "performer," the skills of Improv can help you in your personal and professional relationships.

Ask anyone who's ever taken any Improv class – for any reason – and you'll get the same response. If everyone would just take an Improv class, the world would be a better place. It's just that powerful.

Who is NBOJU anyway?  Glad you asked! Founded in 2002, Not Burnt Out Just Unscrewed has consistently brought its brand of Improv comedy to the best (and not-so-best) venues in Tucson. After 11 short years as a traveling troupe and a successful fundraises the past two Novembers, we have opened our permanent performance home at Unscrewed Theater, 3244 E Speedway Blvd. Tucson AZ 85716 and are weeks a way from our 1st Anniversary!

NBOJU offers classes, year round, at Unscrewed Theater. A new round of classes starts January 6-7 – and if you hurry, there just might be a spot left for you!

Each level consists of eight 2.5 hour sessions, along with a showcase performance on stage for your family and friends – at Unscrewed Theater! Each level is eight weeks long, and designed to take a complete novice from zero to funny in 24 weeks flat!

Tuition is a mere $25.00 per student per class and can be paid on a week to week basis. If you pay up front, the price is only $150.00 AND you get a free Unscrewed Theater t-shirt.
