As Hurricane relief continues, Armando Diaz has decided to donate his time and talents to the cause. That is why on Saturday, Dec. 1st from 12pm until Sunday, Dec. 2nd at 12pm- Armando Diaz will teach & coach improv and sketch comedy for 24 hours straight! All of the money raised from the Coach-athon will be donated to the Red Cross for Hurricane Relief.
Let the bidding begin: BID HERE!
Hurricane Sandy has caused a lot of damage and made a lot of people homeless. It has been a really difficult time for so many people and I want to do what I can to help out. So I am going to raise money by attempting to coach and teach Improv and Sketch for 24 hours straight. YES THAT IS RIGHT! I’M GOING TO TRY AND TEACH AND COACH FOR 24 HOURS IN A ROW. All money raised from this Marathon will be donated to the Red Cross.
WHEN IS IT?
Saturday, December 1st at noon through Sunday, December 2nd until noon.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Well, aside from teaching a couple of my regular classes on Saturday, we are offering slots around the clock that you and your improv group can bid on and get coached by me. In those slots we can work on whatever you want. I am at your disposal.
BIDDING
Bidding starts on Tuesday, November 6th at 11 am and will end at Sunday, November 25th at 6pm. Bids will be tallied and winners will be announced on Monday, November 26th after 12 noon. LET THE BIDDING BEGIN!
And on Saturday Dec. 1st AT Midnight there will be a DROP IN CLASS JAM. (Minimum suggested donation is $10 at the door) Groups and individuals welcomed.
And on Sunday, December 2nd from 10 am to 12pm there will be a FREE IMPROV TRIAL CLASS. If you or your friends have been wanting to try improv and don’t mind being taught by someone with a hoarse voice, this is the class to attend.
So if you have always wanted to be coached by me or you just want to see if a man can teach improv non-stop for 24 hours then please join me for The Armando Diaz Hurricane Relief Teaching & Coaching-athon, Sat 12/1 – Sun 12/2. And please help spread the word.
Sincerely,
Armando Diaz

Tonight! The Director Series continues with “Medusa” directed by Nick Kanellis. “Medusa” is the ninth installment of The Director Series, a 4-week series of performances wherein a Director selects a cast and presents a different form. ”Medusa” is a long form improv show involving all performers on stage at all times. The improvisers alternate between speaking roles and playing inanimate objects. It all begins Thursday November 1st and continues every thursday at 10pm for the month of November. The show features Julia Hynes, Peter Collins, Justin Moran, Rick Andrews, Branson Reese, Ali Fisher, Matt B. Weir and Scott Lawrie. If you’re able to get to the theater safely tonight we’ll see you there! If not, don’t eat all that 50% off candy at once!
It’s a HALLOWEEN MIRACLE! If you’re able to safely get to The Magnet Theater tonight, come out and enjoy some post-Hurricane Halloween Megawatt starting at 7pm! This is the perfect time to stand up, stretch your legs and sit right back down at The Magnet!
7pm: MILLIONS OF GHOULS!
8pm: SPOOKY SAMANTHA!
Candy + Improv + Costumes= TONIGHT! Classes are CANCELED, but the comedy is ALIVE!
The Magnet Training Center will be CLOSED on Tuesday, October 30th, 2012. All scheduled classes for Tuesday, Oct. 30th are CANCELLED. There will also be no shows at the theater tonight. Please stay safe and stay tuned for further updates.
We are now accepting applications for The Circuit! How does The Circuit work? Glad you asked, every Friday night at 10pm, three Circuit teams perform the Harold at the Magnet Studio Theater. Teams exist for three months – enough time to perform a good amount of shows before the next round of Circuit teams replace the current ones. Circuit Teams are made up of Magnet Theater students who’ve completed up to Level 3, graduates of our Training program and veteran performers. We believe that in order to get better at improv, you need to do it.
The Deadline to apply is October 31st. Teams will be announced November 5th, 2012. The next round of Circuit shows will begin November 9th, 2012. Teams will alternate weeks through the end of January 2013. If you have any questions, please email Circuit@MagnetTheater.com.
