Community
This page is for members of the WGIS community. First of all, thanks for being here! We have a lot of ways to be a part of the community.
Read on to learn about our twitch channel, shows, jams, discussion groups and merchandise!
Twitch Channel
First of all, we have online shows that are broadcast on our Twitch channel.
https://www.twitch.tv/wgimprovschool
Twitch is like YouTube, but it mostly shows stuff that is being streamed live, like a little thing called television. If there's a show on at that moment it will be playing, or else you can pick any show from the previous two weeks.
Twitch is very easy to use. You can watch shows without signing up -- just go to our channel. If you DO sign up for a Twitch account (which is free), you can chat and also "follow" our channel, which means you'll get an email whenever a show is starting.
Discussion Groups
- Discord Server
- Discord is a chat service. WGIS has a server there. It's free and fun. It's a great way to meet other WGIS folks. We also post lots of last minute news regarding class openings and shows there. To join, click here.
- Facebook Group
- We also have a Facebook group. This is another great place to meet WGIS folks. We also post last-minute news there about shows and classes. Join here.
- Mailing List
- About every two months we start a big batch of new classes. For these big batches, we send advanced warning to the mailing list. Join the mailing list to get this advanced warning. This is the same mailing list that's on the front page.

Shows
Most of our shows (besides class shows) are on Mondays. These are streamed to our Twitch channel.
Friday Jams
Every Friday, there are two open jams for improvisers of all experience levels: Friday 11am and 5pm (PDT)
To join them, just go to this zoom link at those times. The jams are private - they are NOT streamed or recorded.
