🎶 Ten Minutes With Dawn 🎶
Start your weekend off with a smile - it's time for our next episode of Ten Minutes with Dawn!
Dawn's guest this week should be someone we know and love - it's Unscrewed Theater's Executive Director (and long-time performer) Chris Seidman!
Chris has been a performing member of Not Burnt Out Just Unscrewed since 2005. He has played in the best (and not-so-best) venues in Tucson, and mostly loved every minute of it.
He's been a teaching improv instructor for eight years. He has studied improv theory and practice with a variety of Improv veterans, including educational directors of Second City and iO (ImprovOlympic). Not to mention collaborating with Unscrewed Theater's well-versed and professional instructor team.
Chris believes the world would be a better place if everyone took an improv class. AND, it's fun! Improv changes lives.
Come watch Chris & Dawn make some stuff up and have some fun!
Catch the fun with Dawn here on Facebook - Friday at 10:00 am!

Family-Friendly Improv Comedy
Stay out of the summer heat - by joining us online for a night of family-friendly comedy!
Our guests tonight are Adam Slager & Jim Fry AKA Slager & Fry. This improv duo is from two opposite sides of Pennsylvania - and they've never performed together in person - so they're perfect for our virtual stage.
Jim comes from a long line of performers, from stage, film, musicians and at least one clown! He has studied improv with Steel City Improv and Second City Chicago. He lives in the suburbs of Pittsburgh with his three sons and too many pets!
Adam has studied improv with Philadelphia Improv Theater, Squirrel Theater, Second City, and Upright Citizens Brigade. He lives in the suburbs of Philly with his wife and daughter.
They're joining Jon, Kate, David, Cy, Rob - & your host, Christ Seidman!!
Don't forget to click the button below to get your link and join us at 7:30pm MST.

UNCENSORED Improv Comedy
Time for some hot & spicy improv for those hot summer nights!
If you like your comedy on the raucous side - our late night UNCENSORED shows are for you!
Tonight's special guest is a returning star - it's Whitney Weber! Whitney is a former member of our house team Not Burnt Out Just Unscrewed...and you might remember her from our House Party last August!
Whitney is an active improviser, daydreamer, and trivia show host currently calling Austin, TX home. When she's not watching a true crime show, you can find her listening to one on her mp3 player. Whitney is thrilled to be back to bring the funny with her Unscrewed family and to prove to her mom she has friends.
Don't miss us welcoming Whitney back to our virtual stage! Whitney is joined by Jon, Kate, David, Cy, Chris - & your host, Rob Sparks!

Improv BloxShop: Talk to the hand!
Ready to build a brand new character to improvise with… literally?
We'll take you through some basic puppet construction techniques using things you already have lying around, and you'll transform your new puppet(s) into a complete character with improvised scenes and games!
Suggested supplies: pipe cleaners, socks, plastic jugs with handles, scissors (strong enough to cut through the plastic jug), paper, markers, and any other craft supplies or scraps you happen to have.
Tuition: $35
Prerequisite: none
Instructor: Jessica Spenny
This class is part of our Improv BloxShops series: a brand-new collection of workshops exploring advanced topics in improv and beyond. We're excited to share the diverse strengths and talents of Unscrewed Theater players and instructors in this new way. Each workshop stands alone, so you can pick and choose the topics that appeal to you and your improv journey.

Starting July 11

"It Takes Two," Taught by Bianchi & Byland
It takes two to make a thing go right! It takes two to make it out of sight! This workshop, taught by two improv besties, is about bringing your improv duo to the next level through bold and diverse character work, listening and noticing each other's subtleties, and creating a world based on relationships and trust. Have a duo partner? Then sign up together! Looking for a duo partner, then maybe you'll find your improv other half!
Sunday, July 18
12-3pm MST/PDT
"The Improvisor's Playground" Taught by Elizabeth Byland
As of late, improv via Zoom has felt a little stiff, hasn't it? It's okay. We know it's hard to see the zoom square as a virtual playground rather than a virtual cubicle. However, this physical workshop, led by Elizabeth Byland (co-founder of Queen City Comedy, Professor of Improv at Virginia Commonwealth University, and the other half of Bianchi & Byland) will give you a new creative lens on Zoomprov and the playground that surrounds you, whether you're in an office, a bedroom, or a beautiful theatre!

"Listen Like a Thief" Taught by Jenn Bianchi
The best way to get out of your own way is to focus on your partner. Listen Like a Thief will help you believe in your partner's deal harder than they can. When we listen with our whole bodies, not just ears, we will pick on subtle cues to find something wonderful right away and heighten established patterns.
