35 Teams to play February 11 – 14, 2016

Huge shout out to the Programming Committee led by Kevin Dolan.  They have been working tirelessly over the past few months to review submissions and create a festival program for 2016.

The SDIF brings talented improv teams from around the country (and Canada!) together in a four-day event featuring performances, workshops, and fun activities to celebrate the joy of improvisational comedy and reinvigorate the SD improv community.

Workshops

Workshops will be led by Susan Messing, Rachel Mason, Jill Eickmann, Celeste Pechouse, Kevin Miller, Tracy Cubbal, Pawn Takes Queen, Drew Kersten, Marcus Sams, Jetzo (Chad Diamini & Juzo Yoshida), Robot Teammate, and Red Door (Justin Michael Terry and Ryan Marisco).

All workshops and shows will be up on the website and available for purchase on January 11. (Susan Messing and Rachel Mason’s workshops are available now!)
