The Improv Jam-ber-EE is a Free, once a month event for improvisors, free agents and teams looking for extra stage time and to be silly with likeminded locals from the Lehigh Valley.
If you want to participate, signups will be at the desk of the Bethlehem Visitors Center presented by Lehigh Valley Health Network part of Jefferson Health. Sets will typically be 10 minutes, but times may vary depending on the number of improvisors who sign up. Spacers are limited.
Each month we will have a different local improvised team host. Free agent improvisors without teams and established teams are all welcome to sign up. Members on teams are also welcomed to sign up as free agents along with their teams. Individuals are limited to 3 sign up spots per show. However, each show will end with one large jam at the end to encourage any and all to play along, this will exclude the 3-spot maximum rule.
Please refrain from being a stage hog.
