Improv, Sketch Comedy, and Musical Comedy Troupes can apply to perform with us through our website at this Link
Some FAQ we have gotten over the years:
Q: Do you pay the groups that perform in your showcase?
A: No we do not pay the groups. But we offer 20-25 min of stage time rent free, publicity, and support staff to run the show. We do expect the groups that perform in our showcase to help spread word of mouth about the shows.
Q: Where is all that door money going then?
A: CIC is a 501c3 Not For Profit 100% all volunteer organization. All proceeds from ticket sales to go maintain our Theater space and promotions of the shows.
Q: If you like my group or act would you produce a longer run of it?
A: It has happened. We currently do that with long time friends “Pimprov”. Over this past summer we also produced a short run of “The Mike and Duane Show”. Both groups have developed a long term relationship working with our company. So bring great shows and the fates will see…vauge eh?
Q: What is the difference in your showcase vs. other Comedy Showcases around town?
A: Well ours is now in its 9th season. Try to structure our night to have newer groups and first time groups open the night, more established groups in the middle spot, and closing groups that have shown consistent above the bar product and are usually made up of seasoned established Improvisers. Not saying other showcases don’t do this…but this is how we work and it seems to work well for us.
Also we seem to get a audience that is specifically Theater and Comedy lovers…we have some of the best audience members around.
So come play with us…
