🎶 Ten Minutes With Dawn 🎶

Can't get enough of Dawn? 
We know! 
We can't either.  

So we fixed that for you. Every Friday @ 10AM (AZ Time!) you'll be able to bask in the improvisational glory that is Dawn every Friday. Exclusively on our Facebook page.

Every week, Dawn will host a new guest for 10 minutes of improv magic that promises to bring a smile to your face. Cuz you need this!

This week, Dawn's special guest is Jay Sukow!

Jay Sukow has been performing with and without a script for the better part of the past 28 years. A few of those he has trained with include Stephen Colbert, Steve Carell, David Razowsky, Keith Johnstone, Del Close, Charna Halpern, Jeff Michalski, and Mick Napier. He is a graduate of training centers of The Second City, The Second City NW, iO Chicago, and ComedySportz Chicago.

Jay has taught at many improv festivals around the world, including the Oslo Impro Festival, the Copenhagen International Improv Festival, the Barcelona Improv Festival, and the Chicago Improv Festival. He is the winner of The Golden Pineapple, awarded to the best visiting teacher at Improv Comedy Copenhagen.

He teaches at Second City Hollywood and Westside Comedy Theater, and Today Improv, which he founded. His students include everyone from beginners to the most experienced performers. 

And today, he'll be showcasing his decades of skill by making stuff up with our very own Dawn McMillen - only on the Unscrewed Theater Facebook page

P.S. Don't leave after the feature! Stick around and catch Ten More Minutes With Dawn for some fun, behind-the-scenes look into how our guests feel about life, improv, and laughter.
