Last Friday marked the first collective rodeo for our summer Tumbleweeds teams. Strutting into the Rendezvous in Belltown on Friday, July 14, five teams grabbed improv by the reins and rode out 30-minute long scenes to a packed theater. After only rehearsing together for the last 4 weeks, all five teams managed to gel, bond and perform some great improv.

With two more upcoming shows, we’re excited to see the continued growth of this new generation of improvisers.

Sound like fun? It was. You still have two more chances to catch these teams before they dig in their spurs and ride off into the late summer sunset. Shows are broken into three blocks, with options to buy tickets for one specific block or the entire show. Don’t wait until the night of to buy your tickets, because all three shows were packed to the brim.
