SUBMISSIONS ARE LIVE!
Where do I submit
How much does it cost to submit?
Submission is free but no submission will be reviewed until :
All members of team complete General Registration in support of the Festival
Solo Improvisers complete General Registration in support of the Festival
Please consider the General Registration as a donation to support the function of our 501(c)3 non-profit Vintage Improv Festival Inc who administers the festival. While volunteers provide the vast majority of work done to make the festival successful, there are subscriptions, platforms and production staff that need to be paid for their work during the Festival so we can all enjoy the experience. We chose the make the General Registration this way rather than a submission fee so you have the option of claiming it as a charitable donation.
You may Direct Submit if you have any difficulty on The Improv Network
