PLEASE NOTE:

Dad’s Garage Theatre Company recognizes that each group that enters our theatre will come from different experiences, environments, styles, and approaches to comedy and improv. Dad's has values on what we will and will not tolerate in our own work. (link to values) We cannot and will not control what an outside group brings to our stage, however, we reserve the right to not ask groups back or cut sets short if they are in violation of Dad’s values. It is not the intention of this policy to punish artists, or to stifle their artistic expression, solely on the basis that elements of their performance may be considered inappropriate or offensive. Dad’s recognizes that determining whether or not a value has not been honored in a given performance will often require a nuanced understanding of context and social cues. Dad’s hopes with a combination of communication, common sense, respect, and empathy, the community can create and enjoy a creative performance environment that prioritizes safety from abuse, harassment, and discrimination, while still honoring artistic expression and freedom of expression.
