The Mixer is open to the entire community: total newbies, current students, free agents, existing troupes looking for new members, coaches, or anyone who wants a free workout. An instructor will lead an improv warmup where everyone will get to know each other and get comfortable. Then we will be divided into groups for open scene work. It’s free, it’s fun, and you just might find the people to for your next show, troupe or dinner party.
