Recruiting / Tap Process
Welcome class of 2015!!!
Shows
So you want to see what the VQ is all about? We have a number of shows which will allow you an opportunity to see our style of comedy. The following are showtimes and locations for the recruitment period:
Workshops / But I've never done improv before...
That's OK! Many of us had no prior experience doing improv, or even theater for that matter. We simply went to a couple workshops, had fun, and decided to give it a try. At our workshops, we'll teach you some basic improv rules and pointers, in addition to giving you an introduction to the VQ and our unique improv style. Then you'll get right into learning and playing a selection of our signature games. We have two workshop times - both will follow a similar format. These are a great way to meet members of the group, fellow students, and to have a great time. You are more than welcome to attend multiple workshops, however they are NOT required to audition (and are entirely non-evaluative!). This year's times are as follows:
Auditions / OMIGOSH I'm so nervous...
Don't be! Auditions are almost exactly the same as the workshops. Just keep having fun! There are 4 audition time slots. All improv groups use the same schedule, meaning that if you want to audition for all four groups, you'll need to go to one group during every slot. You may only audition for us during one slot. Callbacks will be announced Wednesday morning and will take place that same night. So the schedule looks like this:
We know that it sounds like a lot to do when you've only just arrived at college, but coming to our shows and workshops is a great way to relax and have fun during your first week at college. If you enjoy watching us, you'll have even more fun improving with us. So come out and give it a try, what have you got to lose!?
