At the first Dallas Youth Improv Festival March 28-29, young performers can laugh, learn, and connect at Stomping Ground Comedy. The weekend will feature comedy shows by local youth improv teams, workshops taught by Stomping Ground youth staff, and opportunities for young people to meet other young comedians.

The young performers from Stomping Ground Youth Improv Teams Warm Milk and 8 Count will amaze you with their comedic genius, quick thinking, and incredible stage presence. From hilarious characters to unexpected twists, you'll be laughing and guessing throughout the show.

Why 8 Count? Well, just like your favorite nuggets, these kiddos are “breaded, meaty bundles of joy.” 8 Count will bring you a show where anything can happen, and probably will. Team 8 Count features Chloe Enriquez, Beatrix Wezwick, Lorelai McLeod, Hank White, Maxton Walter, Nadine DeBerardinis, Aedan Kim, and Rhader Chaney. 8 Count is coached by Melanie Robinson.

Ready for something strange but wonderful (just your first sip of warm milk)? Warm Milk has the prompts, they've got the guts, and they've got absolutely no idea what's about to happen. Warm Milk features Zaid Watkins, Sophie Kitner, Micah Barron, August Goldapp, Hudson Kahle, and Lee Harmeyer. Warm Milk is coached by John Gerhardt.
