We can’t stress enough that our vision for Fort Wayne Improv is that it’s YOUR theater. We want the community to build the theater alongside us, and we’re open for business and collaborations! If you have an idea that you haven’t brought into fruition for lack of space or community, that’s what we’re here for. Pitch us your ideas below, and let’s work together to make them a reality!
Please remember that we are a business, so we need to keep the lights on at the theater. We’re reviewing pitches with that in mind, and we think it will greatly improve your pitch if you understand where we’re coming from. So here are some things to consider when writing your pitch:
- Does this pitch fit our vision for the theater, to be a bastion for not only improv and sketch comedy, but for riskier, alternative performances?
- Are we the right fit to put you and your show/workshop in a position to succeed?
- How much time and work will this pitch take us? EASY for the theater is almost always BETTER.
- What will the pitch cost us?
- How much revenue and exposure do we anticipate the theater receiving as a result of putting up your show or workshop?
