There are a ton of new classes listed. If you wanted to start learning comedy you can do it this month and from your couch! We have Sketch 101 and Sketch 201 now listed on the website, and a brand new Stand Up 101. All of those classes are Digital Edition Classes as we continue to monitor the situation with COVID-19. I am really excited about these new offerings as we continue to forge ahead with comedy in the virtual format. We also have several other interesting digital offerings including an intro to the philosophies and tenants of improv, classes for advanced improvisers, and how to manage those Zoom meetings in a more fun way.

As we continue to care for public health and think about how we can socially distance in our theater, we don't plan on starting any new classes in a physical way until July. We are currently reading up on the newest regulations of opening a public business, and watching how the virus reacts with lots of other places opening. We want to make sure when we start our classes we can do it in a safe and responsible way. We don't have plans for any public shows in our theater on the schedule, so continue to tune into our Friday at 7pm Digital Edition Shows!

We got a nice shout out this week from KOLD News 13, and appeared on their Tuesday night news broadcast. They did a great job showcasing what we are doing with our online shows, and sharing the story of our comedy theater. Please make sure you go check it out!

In this class, participants will receive virtual content drops over three weeks which will include videos, articles to read, and thoughts from our TIM instructors and performers. The class will work together through a private facebook group where participants will be encouraged to post homework about the concepts and interact with other participants. There will be a once a week one hour virtual office hour where participants can chat with the instructor and fellow class participants over Zoom.
