improvised theater on the second saturday of every month at 7pm
Flip The Script!
We invite a local playwright to bring an unfinished script to the show; an original work that's never seen the stage. Then we read the character descriptions, cast the show, and launch into its first ever performance. Once we run out of lines, we drop the scripts and improvise the rest of the play while the playwright watches in delight (or horror!) Inspired by The Script Tease Project created by Matt Baram and Naomi Snieckus.

What's the Cozy Floor Chair?
Our new front row is a little bit different - casual, cute, cozy.
When buying show tickets, you'll see two options: General Admission (all the standard height seats) and Cozy Floor Chair. Be sure to pick the right one! These seats are not for everyone; you must be able to get up and down from the floor without assistance. As you can see in the photo, your butt will only be about 6" from the floor.

Please note: it might feel like our theater is now your living room. You are, in fact, in a public space and expected to be wearing clothes. If you fall asleep during a show, we reserve the right to sing you a lullaby.
