Big Blue Door 
I’d be interested in learning when the improv starts up again. And why it’s not an option right now.
Thanks for reaching out! We didn’t run improv in the winter due to covid. I don’t like improv with masks and we would have too many people in a small indoor space moving and talking without ventilation to go without masks. I am hoping that we can run improv classes again starting this summer. We’ll probably have a Sunday afternoon class, and/or a Tuesday evening class, with another Sunday afternoon class in the fall. Email classes@bigbluedoor.org if you’d like to be notified ahead of time when they’re about to be put on line!
