"Thank you for the many laughs our family enjoyed during our many years of Carlena's involvement in the youth collective. It has been a pleasure to have our daughter involved in such a great place such as yours! So many skills learned there-- too many to mention, have helped in many areas of our daughter's life. Improv is such a gift to the world. The teachable moments have instilled confidence and poise and the ability to think on "your feet," can not be underestimated!" Stacy C., Parent
"My teen has done the youth workshop twice and loves it. Well worth every penny to see the confidence and growth." Kristen P., Parent
"My teenage son has been part of the youth collective for 2 years, and it has been a fantastic experience for him! He has learned so many skills in the improv classes, and it has carried over into his classroom presentations at school." Sarah G., Parent
"Every week she comes home full of excitement about all the things she did and bubbling over with acting energy. You are all a great gift for her." Karen M., Parent
“This is such a hidden gem that I hope more people start realizing is in their neighborhood. The youth collective is an amazing program, can't say enough great things about the teachers who mentor these teenagers. We now have been to the 7PM family show and the 9PM Adult show and its awesome because I don't have to go to the gym since I get my ab workout done there because I'm laughing so hard all the time.” Chandra M.
“My daughter did the Youth Collective Workshop. Best experience ever. She learned how to speak in front of strangers. Great people and a nurturing environment. I cannot say enough positive things.” -Linda B., Parent
“I joined their youth collective program over the summer and I still continue to go every Friday, great fun, amazing people, and a hilarious cast.” Juan M., Youth

About

This interactive improv show welcomes voluntary audience participation!  You can participate in one of three ways: applaud for a scene you like, yell out fantastic suggestions, or if you feel you’re ready, jump up and get involved with us on stage.
