The June 7-11, 2017 Ocean State Improv Festival brings together troupes and individuals for five days to create a tight, interconnected community that teaches, learns, inspires, and performs together at the Contemporary Theater Company on Rhode Island's beautiful southern coast. ~ Nightly performances showcase the fantastic talents of performers from all over the world. ~ A broad slate of workshops and multi-day intensives by top-flight teachers immerse you in new experiences, passions, and a worldwide network of inspiring collaborators. ~ Daily brunches, excursions, and parties highlight Rhode Island's phenomenal coastal environment and restaurants. ~ "Mixer shows" (Theatresports, Micetro, Gorilla, and the Duo Bracket Challenge) and workshop showcases let artists perform alongside new friends. The Ocean State Improv Festival seeks troupes and individuals to join us as performers and learners!
