Thank You for Supporting Musical Improv in the Bay Area

That's a wrap on the second-annual Bay Area Musical Improv Festival!

Thank you so much to everyone who took part in this year's festival--you made it such a joyful and inspiring weekend!

Over four days, we hosted over 700 audience members at eight shows, with 25 acts, featuring 117 performers. We also held seven sold-out workshops for 104 students and a workshop for 10 Musical Directors. And we hosted an incredible opening pizza party, a rockin 'closing party with live-band karaoke, a performer jam and a bagel and coffee klatch.

And we're excited to announce that we're coming back again next year! Save the date, because the third-annual Bay Area Musical Improv Festival will be back October 22 - 25, 2026.
