Operation: Improv IRL

The next MISSION begins on Sunday February 28, 2021.

Improv has more to offer than just skills for performing on stage. It offers ways to develop and improve important life skills in a fun, brave, interactive setting. Whether you’re hoping to sharpen public speaking skills, improve your relationships, cultivate confidence in a crowd, or you just want to become more comfortable in your own skin, improv is a powerful tool to get you where you want to go.

Operation: Improv IRL is a 6-day online challenge that will introduce you to some basic tenets of improv and guide you in applying them to your everyday life. Every day you will receive an email with information, a mission to post on your cohort’s top secret facebook group, and a challenge. There are no grades and no one will be checking to see if you’ve completed these tasks, but the more you put into the challenge, the more you’ll get out of it! Complete each day’s challenge at your own pace, there are no scheduled meetings for this mission.

Registration is non-refundable. Participants must be 18 years of age or older (exceptions may be made, write us at info@unscriptedimprov.org). All of the challenges can be carried out on your own at home, or online, to ensure safety during the COVID-19 pandemic and any regional shelter-in place mandates.

FAQs

  • Do I have to improvise? Not necessarily, these challenges are based on the principles and fundamentals of improv. You’ll have the opportunity to actually improvise and practice these fundamentals online in a super safe and supportive environment, but you aren’t required to have any more fun if you don’t want to ;)

  • Is it COVID safe? Yep! All challenges are designed to be carried out at home, on your own, while sheltering in place or otherwise staying safe during the pandemic.

  • Can I buy registration for someone as a gift? Definitely! Make sure to list their email address in the “participant email” field on the registration form. This makes a great gift. Here is a graphic you can share with the recipient!
