In FIST 2024, WIT welcomed its youngest-ever competitor: six-year-old Kiki Bollen who performed with her father Jeff Bollen as "Kiki and My Dada." The team entered and advanced to round two of the tournament, where they chose to bow out citing post-bedtime performances in round three and beyond. Kiki and Jeff talked to WIT about stage fright (or lack thereof), what they like about improv, and their time in FIST.

"In DC, I don’t think I’m alone in describing myself as a Type A person. But when I walk into a show, class, or rehearsal at WIT, I get to shed so much of that anxiety and be with people on a human level. That’s an incredibly precious, and seemingly rare, thing. I know that so many people in the community feel the same way I do when surrounded by people who are there to practice improv." — improviser Nina Hsu, who performs with WIT ensembles Nox! and The Hypothesis Support WIT's stretch goal of raising $20,000 by the end of December.

“Madeline: Seasons of Growth" hits the stage Saturday at 7 PM! Grab a PSL, peep some leaves, and pack your back to school supplies! As summer turns to fall, Madeline is exploring seasons of growth through the experiences of DC community members. Each week, a local guest will give a live monologue at the top of the show about what change and growth has looked like for them. Madeline will use this monologue as inspiration for an improvised performance about personal growth. Tix: https://witdc.org/shows/washington-improv-theater-presents/
