Final two places on our Mixer Teams
Mixer Teams are a great way for a performer or student to join the festival. Each of our three world-class teachers will offer a workshop on their specific format from 11:00-16:30 on Friday or Saturday.
After happy hour and dinner, the three workshop teams will perform on one bill for a unique improv show on closing Saturday night.
The teams led by Susan Harrison and Katy Schutte are sold out. Ella Galt has just two slots on her mixer team.
FAQS

Yes it will! (Inshallah)
We are expecting that by the end of July, with vaccines, better testing and less Corona, we will be able to have a regular, in-person festival with small modifications.
Perhaps masks will still be required while you walk around. Perhaps the capacity will be lower. For those not able to prove vaccination, we (or the government) may require a negative speed test result to enter. It has been reported these will also be given free at government sites in advance. Perhaps there will be no testing requirements. Wouldn’t that be nice?
We will update these procedures on our website as information becomes available and try to make smart, safe and reasonable decisions.
We expect the show to go on! If for some reason, the festival does not go on, we will first offer Boom Chicago gift certificates and our thanks for your understanding.
We will reluctantly refund tickets for those who want their money back.
