Teachers from all over the country hold workshops in applied and comedic improv, sketch writing, and joke writing. If you volunteer for this opportunity, you will help set up the rooms prior to the beginning of the workshops, pick up and clear rooms in between workshops, and greet and check in attendees. If workshops are not sold out, there is also the potential to sit in and learn before or after your shift!

Volunteering for the evening shifts will give you access to some amazing sketch, improv, and stand-up performances!
