Yes, And – Yes, Please!

Dad’s Garage Theatre Company, a non-profit in Atlanta, Georgia, has a passion for Improvisational comedy. The team threw their creative energies into helping their community get vaccinated for COVID-19. Throughout the spring and summer of 2022, the group put on hour-long vaccine themed improv shows. Four actors and a musician created the first half of the show by playing improvised scenes based on live suggestions from the audience, while working in information about the importance of COVID-19 vaccination. During the second part of the show, nurses, doctors, health department officials, and others were asked about their personal experiences of working in healthcare during the pandemic. Also, at the event the Urban Clinic offered on-site vaccinations for those who wished to be vaccinated.
