Any time of the year is a good time to send some financial support to the theatres and festivals you love. There are fundraisers and Kickstarters and good old ticket sales all year round. That goes for for profits and non-profits alike. But these next two weeks are the weeks when many of us are looking to make those few deductible donations before the end of the tax year. Check your local groups and see if they have a place for donations. It’s great to support the improv in your own city.
If you’re looking to go beyond your city. Here’s a very small list of groups around the country. Feel free to send additions my way. I’ll be happy to add them.
Your support matters
- Mercury Theater (Baltimore, MD)
- Unscrewed Theater (Tucson, AZ)
- Detroit Improv Festival (Detroit, MI)

And this is just a small sampling of groups that are going to continue doing great things in 2015. Let’s keep improv growing everywhere.
