Every city has a page of everything on for the next 4 weeks (shows, jams, drop-ins, workshops and classes, from groups on ImprovTeam and from theatres and schools listed by hand), with the teams, venues, coaches and festivals of its scene underneath. You do not need an account to read it.
Following a group or a listed theatre puts its public events on your Home page and in your calendar feed. You do not join anything.
