Program Services

DescriptionGrantsExpenses
We performed 2 of our usual monthly shows live in January and February during our 2020 season. In March we pivoted to a weekly live stream called The Silent Comedy Watch Party. We did 40 shows on Sunday afternoon at 3 pm. They are archived on YouTube. So because of the pivot to an online function we increased our shows and our audience.$8,500$22,676
