Thanks to everyone who came to our show last night! Huge shout out to Hannah for organizing the group from UC Berkeley Haas School of Business. And thanks to all our supportive fans, friends, and family!

What were some of your most memorable moments from the show last night?

Thank you to everyone who came out our show this past Friday. It was a fantastic show, thanks to you, our audience! And what a special way to send off Mona!

Mona Thompson, go forth and do more great things! You will always be a part of Social Studies Improv.

That said, the theme of Social Studies Improv's August show is SUMMER BREAK. In honor of our theme, we will be taking a month off from doing a show.

Have a great summer, keep in touch, and we'll see you in the Fall.
- Dave, Freddie, Michelle, & Tony

So much to celebrate this Friday!

Mona Thompson is continuing her education and heading to Harvard. And even though we're sad that this Friday will be Mona's last SSI show for a while, we couldn't be more proud and excited for her new adventures.

Secondly, our home stage, All Out Comedy Theater just won "Best Improv" in the East Bay Express Best of the East Bay 2018 Readers' Poll. Congratulations to all the All Out Comedy Theater Players!

Come celebrate with us at the Social Studies Improv show this Friday and experience the Best Improv for yourself!

Thanks to everyone who came out to our show last night! We had a blast discovering stories inspired by Locke, California; a closet; getting threatened with a baseball bat for soliciting; Mr. Peanut; and Space Mountain.
