How to Apply for Cage February 22, 2010 |
Like last year the season will include all of the UCB house teams competing with indie teams being mixed in as well. To apply for one of these slots send an email to cagematchnyc at gmail _dot_ com. List your team name and every member on the team. All team members must have completed UCB 401. We prefer to book teams that are currently practicing and doing shows and that are not "side projects" for most of the performers involved.
Some tips:
**Link to your group's Improvteams.com profile if you have one
**Submit just your main team rather than every team you are on
**Teams with smaller casts are less likely to get booked. Two reasons for this-- 1) we'd rather give the opporunity to more people 2) small casts tend to have schedule issues because it's more important for each member to be available.
**You only need to email once per year to be considered. We pick the lineup each month from the full pool of submissions. We get tons of submissions, so understand we won't have room for everyone and it may take several months to get booked.

How to Apply for Cage April 25, 2009 |
| To apply for CageMatch, send an email to cagematchnyc at gmai1 dot {com} with the name of your team and the names of all of your team members. All members must have completed UCB 401. We prefer to book teams that are active and currently doing shows and practicing, so mention a little about your team's activity if you can. We usually start the season by booking all of the UCB House Teams with a few outside groups mixed in, and then have more room for outside groups and UCB House Team member side projects later in the summer and fall. You only need to email once per year to be considered. We pick the lineup each month from the full pool of submissions. We get tons of submissions, so understand we won't have room for everyone and it may take several months to get booked. |
