Chicago-Style Improv Jam: Monday Nights in Downtown Seattle (Pay What You Can)
About the event
"There's no such thing as a good decision. Just make a decision and make it good." - Charna Halpern, co-creator of longform improv (literally said this to Kelly, your host) No audience. No stage. Everybody plays. Even you! This is a real Chicago-style improv jam. The kind that happens at iO, the Annoyance, and Playground Theater. We'll warm up together, break into groups, and get into scenes. And perform!! Learn by doing. All levels welcome. Never done improv? Great. Been performing for years? Even better. The only requirement is showing up ready to jump in. Arrive as early as 3:30 pm to co-work (free wifi + amazing views), hang out, and/or settle in before we start.... cause the doors close at 6pm!!! Led by Kelly Kirk: studied improv acting at iO, the Annoyance, and Playground Theater in Chicago (plus other theaters around the world).
