ABOUT THE GATHER PROGRAM

GATHER Improv will be assembling and hosting shows Thursday-Saturday evenings from renowned improv teams like Pretty Good Improv, Cloven, The Jess's's's, The Diversity Hires, and more! You'll see incredible performers and comedians from across the GATHER Improv Community every night from the 9th-11th of July, and you'll even get to take part in our Improv Jam on Saturday evening.

Sunday from 11am-3:30pm gives you Sunday Moss*, a collaboration with TINAC. Join Jessica Keith and David Keeling on a magical improv journey of whimsy, connection, and made-up rituals to bring us closer to the Source. Don't believe us? Just pretend to be a tree. This workshop will culminate into a 'performance' of sorts to help expand our imaginations of what improv can be.
