This is our last weekend running our current schedule, we thank you for taking a chance with us these past 8 weeks as we waded back into live comedy. We are working out what our May/June show schedule will look like, and it will feature a shake up. Starting May 7th we are recommitting to Friday night shows. The schedule will feature: The Jam at 6pm, The Soap Box at 7:30pm, and Stand Up Comedy at 9pm. Our Saturday night schedule will continue the shows we are doing with duos and trios, and the eventual emergence of some of our long standing teams ala the Dating Scene or some of our Digital Teams transitioning to the stage. Our show procedures have been working out well, and on Saturday night both shows were at capacity. So get your seats early for this week, and next week we transition to the next level.

Improv Classes for Teens! It has been awhile since we had teen classes at the theater, but we are excited to kick off the summer with this new offering. Have a teen aged 13-17 at home who needs to get out of the house this summer, send them our way. We brought in Clare Shelley to teach our Teen Improv 101 class which will be starting on Wednesday, May 26th and running from 10am-12noon. Clare is a former teacher, and brings tons of energy to everything she does, so we know this will be a great experience for the teens of Tucson!

This weekend The Jam rolls on Friday night at 7:30pm with your host Timmy Budinger! We no longer require preregistration but we will cap admission at 16 people, and continue to enforce social distancing. On Saturday we have even more performers rejoining us on the stage in the Improv Show at 7:30pm. Then Stand Up continues at 9pm on Saturday night. Our COVID-19 Ticket and Entrance Policy is still in place. Get your tickets early online because these shows have been a hot ticket.
