A description of the theater's programming, gathered since the venue's calendar page could not be loaded directly, confirms curated improv shows Thursday through Sunday with named troupes at its relocated address (checked Aug 14, 2026) [s1]. This looks like curated-troupe programming rather than open sign-up. The Venue's Website also lists a community events calendar that was not checked and could host a distinct open-signup event.

The venue maintains a separate 'Show Calendar' page that has not yet been checked, so the true schedule remains unconfirmed. Other information describes a Wednesday 7 PM open mic here, but it has not been checked.

The venue markets it as an assembled cast of comedians, and a dedicated open-mic page for the venue could not be found, so whether sign-up is open to anyone or the lineup is curated remains unresolved.
