Ecchi-sensei (from our Team Henshin-H anime parody plays) has much to teach you at Zipcon on Saturday, February 28 at the University of Akron with-after dark improv games suitable only for mature audiences with immature senses of humor! Anything can happen with improvisation, especially when the censors come off! (Though always remember: comedy should be funny and not hurtful.)

(But don't worry, we'll have our family friendly performance of plays inspired by traditional Japanese comedic theatre earlier at the event!)

Owl impressions are trending? Well, we did that for virtual Zipcon in 2021 with a skit inspired by classic Japanese kyōgen theatre! And 梟山伏 ("Fukurō Yamabushi") is already a play we're considering encoring for Zipcon 2026 next month!
