Each group can expect to have one performance, that will be 25 minutes. We may have a jam at some point, and all performers will be welcome to join in.

Our goal is to have a very diverse festival. We are open to all forms of improv. We are excited to showcase many different forms, and voices throughout the festival!

Our scene has seen a lot of change in the last year. We wouldn't say they are accustom to any one style of improv.
