JAMS, INTERNSHIPS, AUDITIONS & MORE? GET INVOLVED.
WE ARE NOW ACCEPTING INTERN EXCHANGE APPLICATIONS FOR THE SPRING!
Coalition Theater offers internships in exchange for classes as a way of making our training center more accessible for individuals of all financial circumstances.
What are the perks?
In exchange for 40 credit hours, interns earn the benefit of taking free classes, seeing free shows, and learning a little bit more about the operations of the theater over the course of their internship. In exchange, interns volunteer their time working at our box office, concessions, and/or tech booth. They may also be asked to help with other tasks such as hanging posters/marketing materials around town. All class levels are available for internship, which includes Improv 101-401, Stand-Up 101 (when available), and Sketch Writing classes (when available).
How are Interns chosen?
Interested applicants should email our Operations Coordinator. Submissions are rolling and there is no time limit for applying or completing the required 40 hours.
We are currently all intern'd up for the WINTER. Check back later to apply for our SPRING Session.
ATTEND A FREE JAM OR OPEN MIC
Be on the lookout for shows labeled Community Night, like The Mixer or Jambalaya. These are both opportunities for anyone to get on stage. You can also come out to the First Friday Free 4 All every First Friday at 10pm. Check the calendar online for more info about these shows.
THE LAB is every 1st Wednesday and offers improv or sketch groups/teams of any experience level a 10-15 minute slot to perform.
Slots are filled on a first-come, first-served basis by emailing thelab@rvacomedy.com BEFORE WEDNESDAY of that week
THE IMPROV MIXER is every 2nd Wednesday.
Sign up at the door and you will be paired with other improvisers to do short 2 or 3-person scenes using randomly selected music tracks as inspiration for the scenes.
JAMBALAYA IMPROV JAM is every 3rd Wednesday, and is our short-form jam.
Sign up at the door, and you’ll be picked at random to play short improv games with a cast of featured performers.
NOT ALL WHITE is every 4th Wednesday, and is the Coalition monthly free comedy show exclusively featuring performers of color. Hosted by Coalition house team, Race Car!
Non-POCs are welcome to come, watch, and enjoy the show (from the audience).
TAKE A CLASS
Coalition Theater offers 8-week class sessions in improv, standup and sketch writing during the Spring, Summer, and Winter.
Not only is this a great way to build a solid foundation for understanding how to perform comedy, but it is an excellent way to meet and collaborate with others who are doing the same.
Coalition Auditions are held on an as-needed basis, but when we do decide to hold our next round of auditions, we will announce it through our website, social media and mailing list. Joining our mailing list is the best way way to receive updates, so click here to stay in the know and subscribe to the Coalition's Newsletter.
