Get ready to laugh ‘til it hurts—Consensual Improv is back at TACAW! The Roaring Fork Valley’s one-and-only (and therefore most legendary) improv comedy troupe is hitting the stage for another night of lightning-fast laughs and off-the-cuff hilarity. Bring your wildest ideas and sharpest suggestions—great ones might just earn you some Consensual Improv swag. It’s spontaneous, it’s ridiculous, it’s 100% consensual.
Consensual Improv has been a valley tradition since 2016. They have been regulars at the Aspen Laugh Festival and shared the bill with Trevor Noah, Second City, and the late, great Norm MacDonald. Current members include Al Atkinson, Kristin Carlson, Gerald DeLisser, Eliphalet (Miller) Ford, Nina Gabianelli, Emily Henley, Ryan Honey, Brian Keleher, Mike Monroney, Zoë Rom, Jeff Patterson, Jack Trembath, and Cassidy Willey.
Get ready for a night of high energy grooves with The Rescue Band! This tight-knit trio specializes in classic rock infused with soulful Texas blues guitar. Dale Coon offers searing lead guitar over the rock-solid Rosenthal rhythm foundation, they don't just play music - they bring the party!
Carbondale Arts presents two new exhibitions in the gallery on display March 6-April 9, 2026. "Sweet Excess" by William Lanzillo brings to life giant contraption extrudes an impossible cannoli, at once grotesque and delightful. Performance and sculpture converge in a communal, larger-than-life dessert experience. Rooted in family nostalgia and childhood trips to bakeries, the work transforms a cherished memory into a nostalgic, collective spectacle.
"Structures Inachevées" by Ludivine Gérard brings together the evolving threads of work from the emotional layering of her series Recadrage to the fragmented presence of the human form in Silhouette. Each piece remains open, unfinished, inviting the viewer to complete the story or let it remain in motion. Across all series, the artist explores the tension between structure and absence, balance and disruption, visibility and silence.
The opening reception will be on First Friday, March 6 from 5:00-7:00pm with artist talks beginning at 5:30pm. The gallery is open weekdays 10am-5pm.
