What/Who is Lincoln Improv Collective?

Lincoln Improv Collective was formed in 2023 by some folks who met in Tim Mittan’s short-form improv class at Southeast Community College. We all wanted to continue to study, practice, and share improv with each other and with the community. We have varying levels of experience with teaching and performing short- and long-form improv. We are all volunteers.

What can I expect during an Open Play session?

Each Open Play session is different, but we usually play some warm up games and then move into fun 2- and 3-person scenework exercises. If there is ever a game or exercise that doesn’t excite you, or that you aren’t interested in, feel free to sit it out! We recommend that you bring some water with you.

What can I expect during a JAM session?

JAM sessions are open to improvisers 18 and older and are focused on practicing longform improv. We usually play some warm up games and then move into practicing longform scenes. If there is ever a game or exercise that doesn’t excite you, or that you aren’t interested in, feel free to sit it out! Mature content expected!

Do I have to have any improv experience to join your Open Play and JAM sessions?

Our Open Play and JAM sessions are open to the public regardless of experience level.

Do I need to register for your Open Improv or JAM sessions?

We are not requiring registration at this time. But we do ask, if you plan to attend, that you arrive on time.

Do you offer classes specifically for children?

At this time, we do not offer monthly programming that is specifically tailored to children; however, through collaborations with organizations like the Belmont Community Center, we do provide sessions specifically for children! Please subscribe to our newsletter if you'd like to hear about the next collaboration.

Can I hire Lincoln Improv Collective to lead a workshop for me and my colleagues/friends/kids?

Yes! Let’s chat. Just reach out to us via info@improvLNK.org.
