With mind-blowing community support in 2024, we unlocked the $115,000 matching grant from the Massachusetts Cultural Council to begin Phase 1 building of our dream theater. Our new theater has a fully accessible stage, an improv-friendly set, and expanded audience seating.  Come by to visit!

"HVC means community.  Through the classes and workshops I have taken, I have encountered a plethora of friends whom I might not have met otherwise.

HVC means village.  Through HVC, I have found 'my people,' playful, young-at-heart, brave adults willing to be vulnerable and just plain silly.

Through improv I've managed to shed my protective skin and
rediscover the joy of freedom and my true dynamic self."
