Yesandia is coming to ImprovCon! Thanks to David Maier and Matt McGrane, Layne and Jake will be heading to San Diego for four days of improv workshops, panels, and performances with some of the greatest creative minds in America! All to bring back knowledge and new skills to our community and to reshape how we think about improv and life. We cannot wait to connect and share our story with our improv friends this August!

Opportunities like ImprovCon can be transformative for a growing nonprofit, but they’re often out of reach financially. Thanks to the generosity of David and Matt, we’re able to attend through a full scholarship covering registration, lodging, and transportation. As we celebrate Juneteenth, we’re especially excited to participate in “Rehearsing Resistance: Disrupting Racism Through Improv” and apply those lessons to help build a more inclusive community.
