Guests are encouraged to bring their own snacks and non-alcoholic refreshments.
The Cookout: A Celebration of Black Improv in the DMV

Studio Theatre, 1501 14th Street NW, Washington, D.C., 20005
Now in its sixth year, “The Cookout” is WIT’s summer showcase of Black improv, featuring some of the funniest and most talented improvisers in the DMV. There are three sets of performances at 4 p.m., 6 p.m., and 8 p.m. ( approximately 75 to 90 minutes in length.) In addition, each performance has a separate line-up, and because improv comedy is invented on the spot based on audience suggestions, no two shows are ever the same.
