Improv CEntral
Turns one !
One Year of Making It Up Together
Saturday, September 19 & Sunday, September 20
500 Central Ave, Alameda, CA
Two days. Fourteen events. Every single one is $1.
THE STORY
A year ago this was a freshly painted room in Alameda and a hopeful idea: that our local community needed a place to show up as ourselves, to experience the joy and release of feeling present with others through spontaneous laughter, and to leave feeling more connected to ourselves and to each other.
A year later, you have filled this room, over and over again.
So we're throwing the doors open. Twelve sampler sessions, a potluck party, and an ask-me-anything with our founder, spread across one very full weekend. All for $1 dollar each.
BEFORE YOU TALK YOURSELF OUT OF IT
You don't need experience. You don't need to be funny. You don't need to want to be an improviser. There's zero pressure to perform. Every event is an opportunity to get a taste of what we are about, why we are here, and who we want to play with — you!
