'''''The Rubber Room''''' is the weekly improv jam at [[The Institution Theater]].<br />
<br />
== Summary ==<br />
The Rubber Room happens every first Sunday of the month at [[The Institution Theater]] at 8pm, is free to attend, and is run by the faculty of the theater.<br />
<br />
The jam starts with about fifteen minutes of group improv warm-ups. Then, attendees are split up into a set of ''ad hoc'' mini-troupes. Next, the faculty performs their Faculty Show by performing a twenty to twenty-five minute set. <br />
<br />
Each ad-hoc 'troupe' then performs a brief montage piece -- some number of scenes based on an audience-suggested theme (this is called the "Short Films" format) -- for the rest of the attendees. The faculty members call scenes and occasionally provide light direction.<br />
<br />
After that, there is a 'lottery' -- each faculty member randomly selects an improvisor from the crowd (using raffle tickets) to do a scene with them. After that, <br />
<br />
Starting with the 5/19/13 ''Rubber Room'', the faculty made it possible for attendees to replace one of the "Short Films" segments with a custom format for the night.<br />
