We're extremely grateful for your support.

Our mission is to provide high-quality, live entertainment and arts education in a safe environment, at an affordable cost, in order to enrich the lives of our diverse community. While the main focus of the theater is improv, this is also a space for a wide range of creative endeavors. The studio offers both short and long form improv classes of multiple levels, as well as workshops in sketch writing, storytelling, stand-up and poetry.

Most importantly, no person will ever be turned away from a class for inability to pay. Our belief is that the arts are for everyone, and the magic that is improv is no exception.

Scholarships, payment plans and sliding scale tuition are available to any student in need.
