About 1st Annual 37 Year Bakersfield Improv Reunion and Bake Sale*

Since 1989 there has been improv in Bakersfield California, only 8 years after iO Chicago, 13 years before UCB, two years after The Annoyance, 16 years before Magnet Theater, five years after ComedySportz--that is a long history of improvisation in a town few outside of the central valley know, beyond being the butt of jokes. So we, the improvisors from Bakersfield, are going to celebrate that. If you performed with or were a fan of CSz generation 1, 2, 3, or 4, The Hermit Colony, Retro Prairie Dog Amateurs, Major League Improv generation 1, 2 or 3, CSz high school league, The Black List, Center for Improv Advancement, or became an improviser after you left, you are invited.
