The Hideout is committed to increasing the diversity of our student population and the greater improv community in terms of race, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, and disability.
To that end we offer scholarships that can be applied to all Levels of our classes program. Each scholarship covers a full six-week session, and folks can re-apply for continuing levels anytime. Just fill out the form below, and you'll hear from us asap.
The Diversity Scholarship is not explicitly need-based (we don't ask any financial questions), but we do give students the ability to opt into different levels of discount (in the spirit of pay-what-you-can) so applicants can keep in mind their own financial situation in balance with our ability to offer as many scholarships as possible. (
If you need a 100% Scholarship please don't hesitate to choose that!)
We understand that scholarships are only a part of the equation when it comes to increasing the breadth of representation in improv. It is our hope that decreasing the financial barrier of entry to classes is just the first step that makes it a little easier for people from all kinds of backgrounds to engage with improv and The Hideout Theatre as performers and members of the community.
