About This Cause
"Impro Theatre has evolved into a powerhouse improvisational company in full-length shows that are off-the-cuff and consistently hilarious. An indigenous Los Angeles treasure, the company should be seen — and reseen!" - LOS ANGELES TIMES Impro Theatre includes our Main Company, the Impro Theatre School and the Impro Studio. We are a theatre company, a school and a community. MAIN COMPANY Impro Theatre’s Main Company has garnered national attention with our signature brand of completely improvised, full-length plays performed in the styles of the world’s greatest writers. Founded in 1988, as Los Angeles Theatresports, Impro Theatre has evolved into Los Angeles’ premiere unscripted theatre company. Beginning in 2003, the Main Company has performed sold-out shows all over Southern California and most recently internationally at the Dubai Fringe Festival and at Det Andre Teatret in Oslo, Norway. We have received multiple Ovation Recommended honors and Critics’ Picks in the Los Angeles Times, Back Stage and the L.A. Weekly. Our Main Company shows include "Jane Austen UnScripted," "Shakespeare UnScripted," "Twilight Zone UnScripted," "Sondheim UnScripted," "Fairytales UnScripted," "Chekhov UnScripted," and several more. Every performance starts with audience suggestions, and each show is completely different. Each performance is seen only by the audience in the theatre on that night, making every Impro show a truly unique theatrical experience. MPRO THEATRE SCHOOL Impro's Theatre’s Main Company has worked to share our unique approach to unscripted theatre and extend our legacy through the Impro Theatre School. Our curriculum teaches actors to be better improvisers, and it trains improvisers to be better actors. We teach writers how to think about narrative in new and dynamic ways, and we encourage everyone to continue expanding their skills while focusing on the importance of ensemble-based work. Our classes provide a comfortable, safe place for people of every age, experience level, background, and profession to discover the joys of improv. Everyone is welcomed at Impro Theatre School because we believe that everyone has a story to tell and that your story starts here. IMPRO STUDIO The Impro Studio is the home of narrative and genre improv. An integral part of the Impro Theatre School, the Studio produces and presents year-round performances that foster the growth of narrative improvisation and unscripted theatre in an intimate black box setting. Programming includes Main Company repertory, original Studio productions, student productions, and a carefully curated selection of guest artists. With a full slate of shows, the Studio is an active hub that attracts new audiences, strengthens relationships with dedicated supporters, and serves as the headquarters of a devoted, burgeoning community. Impro Theatre is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.
