For those in the area not within easy driving distance for a seven-day improv adventure to Ferry Beach, we are happy to announce an introductory special for improvisers associated with Penobscot Theatre Company or from the Bangor area. VIF is celebrating its seventh anniversary from Sunday, September 22-29, in Saco, Maine, at the Ferry Beach Retreat and Conference Center. Improvisers from all over the US and worldwide will gather, learn, play, and perform together. We would love to have you join us!
Vintage Improv Festival is a seven-night improv festival focused on the interests of improvisers 50 and over. We welcome people of all ages who want to create an intergenerational improv community. Learn more about us at vintageimprov.org
THE DEAL
We can offer a spot in a bunkbed camp-style dorm room for 4 with three meals a day, all activities, shows, and as many improv classes as we can fit you in for $85/day. The minimum stay is two nights,
You can choose your nights from 2 to 7. You will get at least 19 hours of workshops and faculty-directed rehearsals if you stay the whole week. If you remain a partial week, we will get you into as many introductory festival sessions as possible!!!
There is something for everyone. Even if you have never or barely ever done improv, we have sessions led by masters such as Michael Gellman that you can enjoy and experiment with. Have improv experience and want to test it? We have a lot of ensemble work that leads to performances. Are you an improv pro? We have something for you, as several professional improvisers from other countries who are lifelong learners and who attend our festival as participants.
To use is offer
This item is paid for per night.
For example, if you plan to stay four nights, choose each night and place it in your cart. Do you have any questions? Reach out on this app or email Miki Manting at miki@vintageimprov.org. Remember there is a two-night minimum; you pick your nights. If you cannot stay the whole week, you choose Monday-Wednesday or Thursday-Saturday nights to get the most out of it.
We have 16 spots open at the posted price and three spots at a scholarship rate of $50/night, so if the bare bones rate of $85 is too much, contact Miki for the discount code.
Stay Thursday through Saturday nights and come for the free Sunday morning special event. We geek out and play with some interesting improv and acting questions, with each session being led by 2 to 3 of our faculty. The pass includes a special event on either side of the three days. And if we have any left-over T-shirts, we will give you one ( no promises here for a current year, but you can get a previous year if we run out of 2024).
COVID testing is required of everyone who participates or teaches.
