ioWA THESPIAN IMPROVWORKS

Troupes may have up to three teams of 2-5 students participate in an improv showcase at the festival. Improv groups will draw three scene prompts and select one to perform. The performers will have three minutes to prepare their scene, and five minutes to perform their prompt on stage. Time cards will be used to help groups wrap up their scene within the performance time. This is a non-competitive event - the goal of the Iowa Thespian Festival ImprovWorks is to showcase the creativity and collaboration of Iowa Thespians.
