Community Jam

Community Jam is back at Dad's Garage Theatre on Tuesday, October 20, from 8 PM to 9 PM. It's an improv jam open to everyone—improvisers and the improv-shy alike—where you can either sign up to play or just watch from the audience. If you want to get on stage, sign-ups open at 7 PM, so you'll want to get there early if you're planning to jump in.

For those who aren't sure what that means: it's a low-stakes way to get some improv reps in, hang out with other improvisers, and laugh. The jam is described as "funny and fabulous," and since it's open to all, you'll see a mix of people who've been doing this for years and folks who've never stepped foot on a stage. If you're more comfortable in the seats, that's just as good a way to spend the hour.

Dad's Garage is an improv, stand-up, and sketch theatre with a mission to transform people, communities, and perspectives through laughter. It serves as a launch pad for emerging artists, and its performers, designers, and creative professionals go on to become leaders in their fields and work with theatres across the world. Beyond the jam, the company runs a six-week improv class, week-long kids' and teen camps that culminate in a Friday showcase, and corporate workshops aimed at improving public speaking and team confidence. If you find yourself liking the jam and wanting to do more, those are the paths to keep in mind.

Community Jam runs from 8 PM to 9 PM on Tuesday, October 20, at Dad's Garage Theatre, 569 Ezzard St SE, Atlanta, GA 30312. Sign-ups open at 7 PM, and admission is free.
