We've submitted panels for Zipcon 2026, the one day anime convention at the University of Akron on Saturday, February 28!
If approved, we will offer another demonstration of short plays inspired by kyōgen, (Japan's comedic medieval theatre) as well as improv games and possibly even a parody skit! Follow us for updates.
Also if you're in the Akron area, Zipcon can really use some more volunteers!
