Blind casting is open for Palooza 2026! (Deadline is Aug. 3)

WIT is now accepting sign-ups for blind casting shows for this year’s Improvapalooza, which is taking place from Aug. 19 to 23. Blind cast shows are ones that were intentionally submitted without a cast so that they could be filled with improvisers of all levels. If chosen, you will be assigned to a specific, already scheduled show and only meet your cast mates shortly before the show starts. It’s a super fun way to meet new members of the community and play with people you don’t normally get to perform with.

Sign up to participate on this Google form. Please read each question in detail. Make sure you read and agree to show specific requirements and times before indicating your interest.

The deadline to sign up is Monday, Aug. 3 at 11:59 PM.

Please feel free to check as many shows as you are interested in. It is GREAT if you express interest in more shows than your ideal number of blind casting shows. This is really helpful! Note: you will only be considered for the shows you selected and that you are interested in and available for.

Get your All-Palooza Pass before early bird pricing ends on Tuesday, Aug. 4 at 11:59 PM, when the amount will increase from $65 to $80. Nightly passes are also on sale.

If you have any questions, please reach out to palooza@witdc.org.
