One of our favorite takeaways from this Jason Sudeikis interview is that great improv isn’t about trying to be the funniest person on stage. It’s about listening, supporting your scene partner, and making each other look good.

Come play with us!

Open Play
Sunday, July 26
5:30 to 7:00 PM

Then join us every Sunday in August from 5:30 to 7:00 PM at Joplin Avenue Coffee Company.

this is a great opportunity for any veterans you know! Improv can be a great tool for mental health.

VETERANS!⭐ We’re teaming up with Missouri Arts Council and Eg Reggi to host a Veterans Improv class right here in Joplin. Under the cohort model, veterans will meet weekly for 6 weeks.

Whether you are looking to improve your public speaking, navigate transitions with more ease, or spend an afternoon laughing with people who understand your background, this workshop offers a solid foundation in the art of spontaneity.
No previous experience is required—just a willingness to step out of your comfort zone and have your partner's back.

Help us curate this experience by taking the Interest Survey linked below and sharing with veterans who may be interested in this opportunity!🌟
