Subject: Laugh With Us This Weekend
End Your Week With Laughter
At our FREE Unscrewed House Party
It might start slow, but it'll get there
Things have been challenging lately. One thing that hasn't changed is our commitment to bringing improvisational comedy and laughter to the entire Tucson community. We want to be the place where you can be in the moment, laugh the night away, and forget about all the things that don't make you laugh.
At least for a little while.
And to that end, we're continuing to find new ways to make you laugh - now from the comfort & safety of your living room.
And even though we *really* miss seeing you in person, we know you're still laughing with us - whether that's on Facebook during our Quarantine Countdown, or on Zoom for a workshop or drop-in class. Our new online Zoom Unscrewed House Parties have let us connect with fans new & old across the country!
So this Saturday, if you're feeling overwhelmed - join us online for some laughter and fun! Our next Unscrewed House Party starts at 7:30 PM this Saturday, June 6.
There, you can watch (and laugh at!) some of your favorite players from Not Burnt Out Just Unscrewed.
New to our house parties? It's easy!

Can't make it this Saturday but still looking for some fun?
Every Monday @ 6:30 PM join us on Zoom for a socially distant improv drop-in! We welcome improvisers from ALL skill sets to join us online for some games & laughter. Register here: https://us04web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJIvd-ispz0i3GXP2tIWcetzAOJfF-MlYQ
And this June 26, our online workshop series continues! Join us for a ShowShop. What's a ShowShop? Glad you asked! Skilled improvisor Scotty Watson teaches an improv workshop via Zoom -- and then participants show off their new skills in a live-streamed show! It's a Show AND a Workshop - a ShowShop!

It's a Show and a Workshop...It's a ShowShop
Scotty Watson Improv ShowShop
Register: https://www.unscrewedtheater.org/event/showshop-2020-06-26/
Inspired by the work of Elaine May & Del Close, you'll learn 4 basic principles of improvisation
- Make active & positive choices
- Support each other
- It's an actor's job to justify (work with what you have)
- Be seen & be heard
That SAME NIGHT, you show off your new skills in a live-streamed online show which will later be posted to Youtube.
Scotty believes that all learning comes from brave experimentation. He creates a safe place to explore and grow, with lots of positive encouragement for working outside your comfort zone.
