We Just Wanna Have Fun.
Don't You?
So let's do it.
Safely.
After much deliberation, conversation, and research, we've made the decision to update our Unscrewed Theater COVID-19 policy. So we can keep having fun. Forever. In the safest possible way.
You can read the whole policy here - COVID-19 POLICY.
The short version is that all audience members aged 12 and older attending Unscrewed Theater in-person shows must be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 (with an FDA or WHO authorized or approved vaccine) or provide proof of a negative COVID-19 test within 48 hours of the show. Along with that, we will continue our existing mask policy for all performers, volunteers, instructors, and audience members.
We want to do our absolute best to keep our improv community as safe as possible, and that includes you, our wonderful audience.
And the really great news is that you can live-stream any, and yes, we mean any, of our shows online for a mere $8 per household. From EVERYWHERE! And if that isn't a comedy bargain - well, we don't know what is.
No matter where you sit when you watch our show, you'll be part of the fun. Without your suggestions and participation. . . . . well, it wouldn't be improv, now would it?
We're looking forward to another great weekend of improv fun with FOUR shows coming your way. We just love bringing the funny to Tucson. And now the WORLD.
See you there!
Your Funny - Your Way!

10 Minutes With Dawn
Featuring: Cy Barlow, Mike Pierce, and Chris Seidman!
Exclusively on our Unscrewed Theater Facebook page
This Friday, get ready for a Dawn Flashback! We're going back in time to feature three improvisers from our #10MinutesWithDawn Video Vault - Cy Barlow, Mike Pierce, and Chris Seidman. All are members of Unscrewed Theater's founding House Team, "Not Burnt Out Just Unscrewed." Lovingly called NBOJU by those in the know.
And if this isn't enough for you - you can relive even more Dawn Magic here: https://www.facebook.com/watch/UnscrewedTheater/3579721688750032/
Forty-five weeks of magic, to be precise.
Cy Barlow is a musician with an IT day job. She's a perpetual student of music, theater, and improv and relishes every opportunity to entertain people. At Unscrewed Theater, she performs with "From The Top" and "Not Burnt Out Just Unscrewed." She's also the tenor pan player in Tucson's nerdiest steel drum band, Apocalypso. Cy is probably not your uncle.
Mike Pierce, who is one half of Unscrewed Theater's Team, "The Big Daddies," has been studying, performing, and teaching improv for over 15 years. He is one of the founding members of Unscrewed Theater and performs weekly with "Not Burnt Out Just Unscrewed," Tucson's premier improv troop. He firmly believes that the skills you learn in improv are directly applicable to everyday life as well!
Chris Seidman has been a performing member of "Not Burnt Out Just Unscrewed" since 2005 and an improv instructor since 2013. For over a decade, 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.
Catch the fun with Dawn - all online and only on the Unscrewed Theater Facebook page!
