Join the NYC Mailing list
To get involved in New York City, join the NYC Mailing List. We recruit via that mailing list for all our large-scale missions.
This group should be used for meeting each other and brainstorming ideas to suggest to us.
The Improv Everywhere global site is for people to organize their own missions in their own hometowns outside of New York. I really don't want people using it to organize missions in New York City. Frankly, that's our turf. It's a free country and I can't stop you from doing it, but we really don't want to see other groups copying us here in NYC. It will be too confusing for people, and they won't understand the difference between "Improv Everywhere" and a group of people "inspired by Improv Everywhere." If someone got arrested in Times Square and it made the news, the story is going to be Improv Everywhere gets in trouble, not "a group inspired by Improv Everywhere" gets in trouble, and I can't be taking responsibility for stuff I'm not a part of. Improv Everywhere in New York is just me, my friends, and the mailing list of volunteers.
For those of you who don't live in NYC exactly, feel free to organize Long Island, New Jersey, or Westchester (etc) events. I just don't want to see things happening in NYC under our name (or things that are exactly the type of thing we do) without our involvement. We've been doing this for 7 years now and have built up a huge group of dedicated agents and a huge reputation. It's not good for us for random people to start doing missions here in New York. The media will not understand the difference and it will water everything down.
I invite everyone to join the New York Agents list by signing up on the site. We have several missions a year that are open to EVERYONE so there is always opportunity to get involved.
I know it's confusing having a NYC group here on this site, but the primary purpose I had envisioned for it was for people to be able to meet each other and suggest ideas for us to do.
