Organic Improv
February 2025 cohort of Organic Improv. Photograph by Nolan Eskeets.
Organic Improv is a free 6-week workshop series exclusively for Natives facilitated by Benny Wayne Sully. This is a great opportunity for folks to try out and learn improv without paying hundreds of bone$ for a class.
The current cohort meets on Tuesdays in April and May from 6:30 - 9:30 PM. The class will culminate with a graduation show open to the public on Thursday, May 22, along with an Improv Jam where anyone can get on stage and play. The cohort will be limited to 8 people, so priority will be given to those who can attend all 6 classes.
The Summer Organic Improv cohort will be selected on Friday, May 30.
Sign-ups for the next cohort will open on Wednesday, May 21. Sign up via the link below. If you have any questions regarding the class, please reach out to Benny @thedoophus
