Program areas at Curious Comedy Productions
We program a variety of Productions, year-round. This includes a mainstage production that runs every friday and saturday, which changes every six to eight weeks, in addition to monthly ongoing shows. Mainstage Productions star the resident performance ensemble and push the boundaries of Comedy theater by adapting genres to innovate the form. The monthly ongoing shows are a variety of formats that nurture new talent and encourages new artists to work with our ensemble.
Outreach, training and digital media: we have developed digital media that is available for broadcast highlighting core programs of the organization.
We offer classes year-round through the Curious Comedy training center. Our training center includes three levels of improv, stand up, and sketch writing, as well as workshops led by guest artists. The training center is intended as a training ground for the mainstage, and we draw on student talent to continue to grow our performance ensemble and community.
