Applications Now Open for Next Round of Instant Program!

Reckless Theatre's Instant Program is now accepting applications for all 3 of it's programs: Instant Teams, Instant Sketch, and our newest, Instant Character. The Instant Program gives comedians, writers and performers the reps they want and the notes they need to push themselves to the next level of their work. We feature players from all of the comedy theaters across the city and this is a great opportunity to expand your own community!

APPLY HERE FOR INSTANT TEAMS!

INSTANT TEAMS give improvisors the opportunity to get regular reps onstage while exploring a specific form in-depth. Teams are put together for an 8 week run of shows starting in September at Reckless. Every Tuesday, teams take the stage to perform a classic long-form. Performances are 7-8:30pm, September 27-November 22 (There is no show on Election Day, Nov. 8, go vote!)

Teams will also practice with a Reckless-trained coach each week, focusing on increasing confidence and connectivity as well as playing your form to the hilt.

Applicants must have completed at least 3 levels of improv study at any long-form school. 

Get registered, Get placed, Get Part of IT!

APPLY HERE FOR INSTANT SKETCH!

Instant Sketch gives you the opportunity to write and perform live sketch comedy at Reckless Theatre!

From the very first meeting, you and your teammates will be pitching ideas. Each week, you will write a new sketch and workshop your teammates' sketches. We create a writers' room to foster everyone's development as you take risks putting your funniest ideas to paper. From there, we rehearse and bring your sketch to life for a live audience. If you want to experience the power and glory of making something from nothing, sign up today!

Groups will perform shows together on Tuesday, November 15th and Tuesday, November 22nd at 8:30pm.

APPLY HERE FOR INSTANT CHARACTER!

INSTANT CHARACTER gives you the opportunity to develop and perform character pieces at Reckless Theatre! Eric Feurer (Character's Welcome @ UCB, Face/Off @ Reckless) will work with the team on developing lived-in, mapping, and conceptual characters and fully inhabiting them in their body and voice. By the end of the program you will have at least three polished, primed characters ready to take on the circuit.

Character shows take place on Tuesday, November 15th and Tuesday, November 22nd at 8:30pm. Additionally, your team will get a chance to compete as a part of Face/Off.

New Fall Classes

CLASSES: DROPPIN LIKE IT'S HOT

Reckless Theatre and Training Center has released new classes for Fall. Snag a spot now!

Reckless Intensive

Saturdays 3:15-6:15

September 10 - October 29

$400

Get familiar with the Reckless approach to improv. This is a course designed to help performers build upon prior improv training. It sets out to create a bedrock foundation for you as a self-reliant, team-playing, fun-chasing improvisor. This is for experienced improvisors that want a refreshing new slant on the way they play. Create tension, take action, and explore characterization through wants, spine, and choice. Learn to advance and expand your ideas and weave them into rewarding scenes and narratives with pronounced games.

Reckless Ensemble
Wednesdays 7-10pm
September 7 - October 26
$400
*Must have taken Reckless Intensive as a pre-requisite to this course.
Celebrate team play while boosting your confidence as a solo performer. Agreement and attack are essential to the Reckless method. Endorse and cosign each other's moves with immediate attack, be fearless and reactionary. Get on your toes, out of your head and play Reckless. Explore various forms such as the Monoscene, Harold, and Organic Montage. Juggle multiple patterns while holding true to your point of view and make rich scenic choices that awaken your sense of play and togetherness.

Interested in a class on our website that you don't see here? Email registrar@recklesstheatre.com and let us know. If you and a few friends want a particular class we may be able to build one for you!

Announcing the new Big Fiasco teams

BRAND-SPANKING NEW LINE-UP!

Check out these ridiculously talented teams when the BIG FIASCO moves to it's new home on Thursday nights starting @7:30pm

A note from Artistic Director, Christian Capozzoli: I want to take a second and thank everyone who auditioned last week. This community is brimming with so many ridiculously talented people and I know there were more of you than there were spots. I appreciate how everyone buoyed each other in their auditions, cosigned one another's ideas and reveled ensemble. It was inspiring to see such selfless play in an audition room and made my job so much harder. Thank you.

All teams will perform at their first show on July 14th and perform on rotation after that. Check out our show calendar each week to see who will be performing.

Tickets / Classes

We run riot with our hearts, out of our heads to create live theatre that hopes and dares to stun and astonish. We are actors, comedians, writers, and artists. We roister and revel ensemble. Gazetted and ridiculous. We improvise with craft and care and sting and bite. We are wild. We are rowdy. We are reckless.
