**Improv NOW! Jam: A Performance-Driven Lab** Ready for a night of unscripted discovery? Join us for the Improv NOW! Jam—an electric, collaborative performance space where improvisers and audience members alike come together to create something brand new. **This is a performance-driven event.** We are a community of performers taking risks, developing characters, and crafting stories in real-time. Whether you are hitting the stage to sharpen your instincts or sitting in the audience to enjoy the magic, you are an essential part of the night. **The Experience** We keep the format fluid to match the energy in the room, creating a fast-paced and engaging experience: * **The Scenework Hour:** We dive into grounded scenes. Expect everything from tight, 2-person beats to larger group dynamics that explore relationships and comedic character work. * **The Ensemble Hour:** We shift into longer, collaborative sets. We work together as an ensemble to weave characters and situations into cohesive, story-driven comedy. **Who Should Come?** * **Performers:** If you want to practice your craft, take risks, and perform for a live, supportive crowd, this is your lab. * **Audience:** If you love live, unscripted comedy, come watch the magic unfold! If you feel inspired, you're welcome to switch roles at any time. **Details** * **Time:** 6:30 PM – 8:30 PM * **Cost:** $10. Please pre-arrange electronic payment (Venmo, Zelle, PayPal, CashApp) with the host or handle it on-site when you arrive. * **The Vibe:** We play to the height of our intelligence. We bring the focus and intensity of a show to an intimate, supportive environment. **After the Jam:** For anyone interested in hanging out afterward, we’ll meet downstairs on the sidewalk right outside the venue. Feel free to stick around and socialize with the group! **Questions?** Reach us at [nycimprovnow@gmail.com](http://nycimprovnow@gmail.com%2A%2A/) *Note: Photos may be taken for promotional purposes.*
