Join the Black Improv Alliance for two fully immersive, interactive holiday shows on Tuesday, November 22nd & Wednesday, November 23rd at 8:30 PM EST (7:30 PM CT, 4:30 PM PT)
BANKS-JACKSON FAMILY DINNER
It's Thanksgiving weekend and you’re headed to Big Mama’s house for dinner with all of your extended family. Big Mama needs you to travel around her house - with your cohort of audience cousins - letting everyone know the food is ready. As you explore the family home, convincing each person to come downstairs, your relatives may ask for small favors or involve you in their dramas. But at at the end day, they’ve got your back. Because that’s family.
This largely improvised show is for audience members 18 and over, as adult themes may be explored.
Tickets are Pay What You Can, from $10-$100, and more than 90% of gross proceeds will go to the cast & crew.
This looks amazing! How do I sign up? What should I know?
1. Choose a showtime, and buy a ticket for that time slot. Better yet, get tickets for both! You decide what happens, so the show will never be exactly the same.
Each participant needs an individual ticket, even if you are sharing a screen! Two people sharing a screen means you should buy two tickets. :)
2. You will experience the show with a small group of other audience member cousins, so if you want to be paired with a particular group of people:
A) Make sure that all members of your party buy tickets to the same show. Then,
B) Have one person in your party send an email to [email protected]
Subject Line: HOLIDAY SHOW GROUP, and list the date you're attending and the names of everyone in your party.
This must be completed by the day before your show.
Day of show, we will attempt to accomodate parties but cannot guarantee that you'll be grouped together.
3. You can experience the show off camera and on mute, but it's more fun for everyone if you participate! You will be invited to keep your camera on and at some points in the show, invited to turn on your microphone and engage in conversation with the characters.
The show is approximately 60-90 minutes long, depending on how interactive your group is.
4. You'll get a confirmation page with the Zoom link after your purchase and an email with the Zoom link and a confirmation of your entrance time the day before your show. Check your spam folder first, but if you have not located this email and can't find the Zoom link by the morning of the show, contact us at [email protected] by 4 PM ET, and we'll resend you the link directly.
5. Click the Zoom link 10 minutes before your entrance time.
6. Enjoy the show!!

Close Cousin - $50 - Oooo, you like us. You really like us! If you'd like to patronize our show a little extra, we'd love for you to buy a ticket at this price. This ticket also grants you access to a Zoom Q&A with the director immediately after the show!

BUY A TICKET FOR A BLACK PERSON TO ATTEND
$25.00
This ticket will pay for a Black person to attend the show for free. We expect to have plenty of folx sign up to claim these tickets, but if we have more of these tickets purchased than we have people sign up to use these tickets for this show, any extras will be rolled over to pay for Black people to attend December shows.
