Your Weekend Laughs Are Here!

 

 

"Make Me Laugh!", all-ages-appropriate Improv, and UNCENSORED Comedy!

 

FOUR shows this weekend:

• Friday, July 25th @ 7:30PM (PST): Family-Friendly Improv Funny with "Not Burnt Out Just Unscrewed." Tickets $5.00/kids & $10.00/adults. Live Stream tickets $10.00 per household.
• Friday, July 25th @ 9:00PM (PST): Make Me Laugh! UNCENSORED Improv Panel Game Show! All tickets $10.00 in person or live stream.
• Saturday, July 26th @ 7:30PM (PST): SPECIAL SHOW! SHE-nanigans Unscrewed women on stage! Tickets $5.00/kids & $10.00/adults. Live Stream tickets $10.00 per household.
• Saturday, July 26th @ 9:00PM (PST): UNCENSORED Improv with "Not Burnt Out Just Unscrewed" and "The Big Daddies." ADULTS ONLY! All tickets $10.00 in person or live stream.

Enjoy all our shows LIVE & IN PERSON or LIVE STREAM from home!

 

 

Here's the deal: we're cranking up the fun with more pay-what-you-will shows, free classes, and all the wacky, belly-laugh-inducing stuff you love.

But to keep those doors (physical AND digital) open, we could use a little boost.

If you can spare a few bucks — $5, $10, $100 (hey, we're not picky!) — just smoosh that button down there.

Whether it's a one-time high-five or a monthly "I've got your back" recurring donation, every bit helps us keep Tucson laughing now... and in 3024, when AI holograms are headlining our shows.

We promise: every single penny goes toward spreading joy, silliness, and the occasionally awkward improv scene.

Cuz laughter is the best thing ever.

So go ahead, smash that button  and let the good times roll! We'll send you a big ol' THANK YOU and maybe even an interpretive dance. No promises on the choreography, though.

 

Unscrewed Theater is a volunteer-run 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to teaching, performing, and producing all forms of live improvisational theater in Tucson, AZ.

The Scoundrel & Scamp's 24/7 Play Festival

 

24-7 Play Festival

August 15th - 16th, 2025

 

 

Tickets

 

The Scoundrel & Scamp’s 24/7 Play Festival is a celebration of the theatrical creative process!

On Friday night, August 15th, at 8:00 PM, seven playwrights will be given a common prompt for plays (a starting line, a prop, a situation) and the gender/age compositions of their assigned cast. Their coffee cups will be filled and they will be given the directive that they can leave the writing chambers only when handing over a completed 10-minute play — or the arrival of 4:00 AM, whichever comes first.

On Saturday morning, August 16th, starting at 7:30 AM, the other artists — 7 directors and 28 actors — arrive to discover their new scripts, roles, and assignments.

At noon, we’ll begin the tech process.

Performances will then take place at 7:00 and 9:00 PM! Both shows will include the seven plays.

At the conclusion of the festival, a mini-awards ceremony will be held to celebrate the audiences’ and artists’ favorites.

For Scoundrels 18+
