We started doing shows in person on March 20th, and it has certainly been a fun ride.  We thank you for all of the support you showed to our theater as we figured out how to do comedy live and inside our theater again.  It has been awesome to make you laugh over these past 15 weeks, and we are overwhelmed with the response.  We sold out shows, we had multiple levels of limited capacity, and you came out when we were masked and working it all out.  After this weekend's shows, we are going to take a break next weekend to celebrate the 4th of July, and catch our breath for a minute after what has felt like a rollercoaster of emotions the past couple months. No shows next weekend so you and we can celebrate what has been a pretty good 2021 so far, with the people we love, then we will be back at it July 9th bringing the funny back to 4th Ave!

We are excited to bring you a new show opening July 10th.  "The Dirty Tees," a show for real Tucsonans who are here in July living through the heat.  This short form show will be an homage to the city and desert that we love, featuring short games and longer pieces where we honor what it means to be in Tucson in the summer!  So come out and support this show running in the 9pm Saturday timeslot, it will be inside a air conditioned dark theater, just the way we like it, and maybe it will monsoon.  See you there, if you are a real Tucsonan!

Starting with the shows on July 9th we are going to do another update to our COVID policies.  If you are fully vaccinated, you do not need to wear a mask while you are in the audience at the theater.  If you are unvaccinated, we ask that you continue to wear a mask.  As we continue to track downward trends in cases, and the environment people are looking for as they come to shows, this is the next step in our practice.

Upcoming Classes

Improv 101
July 6th at 6 pm
Instructor Sara Alcazar Silva

Our Improv 101 class will teach you the two most important words in the improvisers vocabulary: "Yes, And." These two seemingly simple words open up the door to our six week course that will provide your foundation for comedy improvisation: team-building, trust, speed, active listening, and agreement. Over the six weeks you will specifically learn: grounded scene work, how to develop relationships, create characters, and cultivate the environment within improv scenes. Students learn to be fearless and have fun on stage using the TIM approach to improv.


Sketch 101(Digital Edition)
July 6th
Instructor Amanda Tennyson

Over six weeks, students will learn the basics of writing comedy sketches. We will discuss: generating comedic ideas, formulating with a premise, the game of the sketch and sketch revision. Students will write smart two person scenes grounded in reality, and have fun doing it under the TIM Comedy Philosophy!
