About Impro Theatre

Impro Theatre is a non-profit theatre company serving the community since 1988.

Who We Are.

Somewhere between the Royal Shakespeare Company and Whose Line is it Anyway? lies Impro Theatre –- a company of classically trained actors who are masters of improvisation.

We aim for the impossible –– high-quality instantaneous theatre that makes the stage a dangerous, exciting place.

We are narrative daredevils, bent on writing and performing in the moment to create a unique show every time.

We believe great theatre is spectacularly unpredictable, filled with memorable characters and rich language.

Impro Theatre has deep roots in the noble traditions of the past, but tackles performance with all the improvisational immediacy of the 21st century. Join us as we springboard off history’s greatest playwrights, and dive into the exhilarating waters of the future.
