just to clarify, what do individuals get for registering? access to the shows and 2 workshops?
The focus of the festival is education and exposure to a kickass cross-section of improv comedy. Teams from all across the country come in to play, 6 shows, 4 sets per show, 24 total improv performances. Everyone who registers will receive full access to ALL festival shows, two 2-hour workshops on Saturday, and the other items listed below.

WHAT DO I GET FROM DSIF ::
1) Registered groups will have unlimited access to shows.
2) Fully-organized Friday night IMPROV JAM.
3) Two FREE workshops taught by experienced DSIF instructors.
4) One Festival T-shirt per member.
5) Festival parties and local business discounts.

Closer to the festival we will have intensive 3 and 4-hour workshops on Friday and Sunday available at a reasonable additional cost.

Individuals should register and submit payment no later than December 15th for the $45 deal. Otherwise the price increases to $60 per person (which is still a steal.... an absolute steal.... space available but limited for individuals after December 15th).

Email or call if you have specific question, Jamal.

Any other questions, IRC?

Highfive,
Zach Ward - Executive Producer
