Arcade is excited to announce more House Team opportunities, which will be holding auditions in the coming weeks! 🎭

First, continuing Arcade’s offering of House Teams with a shorter run, we are holding auditions for a long-form team using the “Tempest” structure, a narrative form first developed by the 2025 Arcade Academy IMPROV 310 class. This team will start with 6 weeks of practice, followed by 6 Friday night shows – a 12 week commitment in total. 😎

Then, in September, there will be auditions for two Harold teams. These will have approximately a 6-month duration.🗣
