Monkey Business Institute

You can hire the Monkey Business Institute for your next company party, corporate meeting or any other gathering! We can come to a location of your choosing. We've traveled all over the state (and across the country) to perform! Just drop us a line and we'll supply you with all the details you need - including references. Our performers have well over 100 years of combined improv and performing experience, so you can rest assured we know what we're doing!

If you've been tricked into hiring the entertainment for your next company party, or you're tired of the same boring corporate conventions, contact the Monkey Business Institute!

.... What's in it for you?  Website registration is free -- and it allows you to comment on articles.  You'll have your own profile space where you can upload an avatar, accept comments (and post comments on other people's profiles), and share your own links.  And if you'd like to keep up with our our goings-on via email, just follow this link to register for the Monkey Business Institute newsletter.

The Monkey Business Institute would be a perfect fit for your next corporate training event!  However, we're a bit different than other trainers or speakers - we don't have workshops, The Monkey Business Institute has Playshops! After all, a workshop sounds too much like work.  Our Playshops focus on building stronger communication, better listening, boosting creativity, and having fun. You tell us what you want to achieve, and we create a class (or series of classes) to accomplish that goal.

Location: If you've got the room, we can come to you. If not, we'll help find a suitable classroom.

Duration: From keynote presentations to six hour Monkey Business Institute Playshops, you tell us what the schedule allows. We can even break a six-hour playshop into bite-size pieces that leave you coming back for seconds and thirds!

Design: Tell us what you're looking to learn, and we'll insert those lessons into your Monkey Business Institute Playshop. Whether you're looking to give better service (and receive gracious tips), or you're a part of a sales force and want to see rejection in a whole new light (or not at all) - we'll customize your results!
