A COP is a group of people who share a passion for something they do, (improv) and learn how to do it better as they interact regularly.

This particular COP:

• Meets twice per month, the 1st & 3rd Tuesday of the month for 1.5 hours.
• Has open registration for the month, at the beginning of the month, for both sessions. (No admission will be permitted later in the month. Interested individuals can instead wait for the following month to register.)
• Has a monthly fee of $20 to participate in both sessions. These funds ensure we have access to the rehearsal space.
• Is for improvisers with under 2 years of practiced experience.
• Is open to improvisers who accept and want to contribute to our Vision, our Code of Conduct, who adhere to our Anti-Harassment and Anti-Discrimination Policy and who believe in What We Stand For.

We share a dedication to the craft of improv, laughter and the joy of comedy, and hope you do too!
