The Art of the MC: The Master of Ceremonies, commonly known as MC, is a critical role for a show to start off in the best way possible.

The Bureaucracy: In ‘The Bureaucracy,’ you’ll transform the soul-crushing nightmare of red tape into an absurd improvisational epic. From ancient regulations that nobody understands to the absolute necessity of Form 42-B (triplicate, please), you’ll learn to find the high-stakes comedy in institutional insanity. It’s Kafkaesque, it’s relatable, and—unlike a real passport renewal—it’s actually fun.
