Our shows are composed of completely new material, written by each year’s group of Bloomers, and often have an overarching theme. Bloomers also performs bits throughout the year in floor shows at a number of on-campus “coffeehouses”, academic programs, and special campus events. The group has also performed over the years at benefits for organizations and non-profit groups in New York, Miami, and all over Philadelphia and has been invited to National Comedy Festivals. https://www.bloomerscomedy.org...

About Unscripted

The Unscripted Project is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in Philadelphia, PA (www.unscriptedproject.org). Our mission is to equip students with the building blocks for personal and professional success (like speaking confidently, collaborating effectively, and growing from mistakes) through the power of an improv education. We do this by holding free in-school 9-week improv workshops for Philly middle and high school students, and by offering Act 48-accredited professional development workshops for Philly educators to incorporate improv into their classrooms.

Launched through the generous support of The University of Pennsylvania’s President's Engagement Prize, we are deeply committed to taking a methodical and interdisciplinary approach in building an innovative and impactful program for the students of Philadelphia.
