Learn Improv turned 25 years old in 2019. Many structures that were common place in the last millennium simply suck today. There are racist structures, insensitive structures, and just plain dangerous structures. They are included here for historical purposes. Laugh or cringe. I have played most of these since starting out in 1989.
Learn Improv believes in a safe and supportive environment
In no way does this mean that the topics listed in the deprecated structures are to be censored on stage. There will always be risque and insensitive material in improv comedy. However there is no place for insensitive topics to be included in the titles of improv structures on this web site.
When sensitive issues come up in scenes they can be played appropriately. They can speak truth to power and punch up. If something goes off the rails in a scene the issue can be discussed in the post notes.
