Applications Now Open for Next Round of Instant Program!

Reckless Theatre's Instant Program is now accepting applications for all 3 of it's programs: Instant Teams, Instant Sketch, and our newest, Instant Character. The Instant Program gives comedians, writers and performers the reps they want and the notes they need to push themselves to the next level of their work. We feature players from all of the comedy theaters across the city and this is a great opportunity to expand your own community!

INSTANT TEAMS give improvisors the opportunity to get regular reps onstage while exploring a specific form in-depth. Teams are put together for an 8 week run of shows starting in September at Reckless. Every Tuesday, teams take the stage to perform a classic long-form. Performances are 7-8:30pm, September 27-November 22 (There is no show on Election Day, Nov. 8, go vote!)

Teams will also practice with a Reckless-trained coach each week, focusing on increasing confidence and connectivity as well as playing your form to the hilt.

Applicants must have completed at least 3 levels of improv study at any long-form school. 

Get registered, Get placed, Get Part of IT!

APPLY HERE FOR INSTANT SKETCH!

Instant Sketch gives you the opportunity to write and perform live sketch comedy at Reckless Theatre!

From the very first meeting, you and your teammates will be pitching ideas. Each week, you will write a new sketch and workshop your teammates' sketches. We create a writers' room to foster everyone's development as you take risks putting your funniest ideas to paper. From there, we rehearse and bring your sketch to life for a live audience. If you want to experience the power and glory of making something from nothing, sign up today!

Groups will perform shows together on Tuesday, November 15th and Tuesday, November 22nd at 8:30pm.

INSTANT CHARACTER gives you the opportunity to develop and perform character pieces at Reckless Theatre! Eric Feurer (Character's Welcome @ UCB, Face/Off @ Reckless) will work with the team on developing lived-in, mapping, and conceptual characters and fully inhabiting them in their body and voice. By the end of the program you will have at least three polished, primed characters ready to take on the circuit.

Character shows take place on Tuesday, November 15th and Tuesday, November 22nd at 8:30pm. Additionally, your team will get a chance to compete as a part of Face/Off.
