We promise you'll have a blast, and who knows? You might just discover your hidden musical talents (or lack thereof).

A gang of stand-ups will take the stage under the direction of Timmy Guiney!
21h show The Mullet from the mind of Ryan Miller
The Mullet is, in essence, a game-driven shortform set that morphs into a longform exploratory improv show. It's short in the front and long in the back, y'see. The beloved hairdo we all want to rock, is the inspiration for this improvised show: a crew of adept players slaying shortform AND exploring imaginative morphing longform sets. Business in the front. Party in the back.
22h show Cosmosis & U-Wing
COSMOSIS is a wacky meditation on cosmic balance and imbalance—Isaac Simon's solo improvised science fiction epic inspired by post-rock tunes and nerdy film scores (and decades of conversing with the void).
U-Wing: The changing climate might be bad for butterflies, but the butterfly effect continues to thrive. Three ostensibly unrelated conversations are more related in past present and future than you think. U-Wing shows how everything is connected. Brought to you by Cliffs of Dover.

Taught by Trista Mrema.
When we're young we're fearless, we're inquisitive, we're uninhibited, we do whatever feels right in the moment. As we get older we lose that creative spark, believe everything has to have a constructive purpose and put aside those habits of youth. We lose that creative spark that doesn't overthink things, doesn't care what others are thinking, just live in the moment. In this workshop we'll rediscover that inner child and get to know them again.
