Improv NOW! Friday Jam — Perform, Play & Have Fun

Ready for a night of hilarious, unscripted discovery? Improv NOW! presents its flagship Improv Jam—a dedicated space to play, take risks, and sharpen your comedic instincts.
Whether you’re a seasoned performer or a curious newcomer, everyone is welcome to participate or simply watch the magic unfold.
Program

• The First Hour | Scenework: We dive into grounded scenes inspired by audience suggestions. With sets ranging from 2-person beats to larger group dynamics, this is the perfect environment to practice your scenework and explore character relationships.
• The Second Hour | Community Show: We shift gears into longer improvised sets where the groups of individuals work together. This is a great chance to collaborate with others and work on different characters that can weave together into a cohesive story.

• Make Strong Choices: Bring the Who, Where, and What to life with detail and conviction.
• Content Guidelines: Play bold, but stay mindful of offensive topics and sensitivities.
