About this Event
🎰 IMPROV ROULETTE: A Thursday Night Improv Jam đźŽ
Step right up and take your chances at Improv Roulette, a high-energy improv jam.
For a $5 donation, participants get to spin the wheel and be randomly placed on a team—each with its own special challenge. You might find yourself tackling bold character work, performing silent scenes, embracing unexpected styles, or navigating other surprise constraints dreamed up by the roulette wheel.
Each team is guided by a Team Captain, who will lead warm-ups and help the group lean fully into their challenge. Teams will have 15–20 minutes to perform and show off their improv skills, teamwork, and commitment to the challenge.
And here’s the twist: the audience decides whether each team successfully completed their challenge. Stakes? Bragging rights, glory, and the joy of watching improvised chaos unfold.
✨ Why We Spin - All proceeds go directly toward supporting:
- Our theatre space
- Our coaches and instructors
- Our BIPOC team
- Our upcoming Queer team
- Snackies (because fuel matters)
- Our kids program
Whether you’re jumping onstage or cheering from the crowd, Improv Roulette is a night of playful risk, community support and big creative swings—all for a great cause.
🎲 Spin the wheel. Trust the team. Commit to the bit.
