(Re)Telling Tucson's Story
Friday, 7:30 PM
"Randy is the founder of La Tierra del Jaguar, a non-profit organization working to save the jaguar through education, habitat restoration, and regenerative agriculture in Sahuaripa, Sonora, Mexico. He is also a sculptor, mechanic, outdoor guide, and all around groovy guy. Growing up on both sides of the border, Randy is fully bilingual and can make fun of you in two languages.

Cleaner of cougars, enricher of otters, feeder of the ferocious hummingbirds... Allison has had the pleasure of working with an assortment of animals as a zookeeper for the last 15 years. She is an artist, vulture enthusiast, and wildlife lover."

Improv 101 w/ Sara Alcazar Silva
Saturday, September 25th
4:00pm-6:30pm

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.
