Actors Improv Theater
Formerly known as Transactors, we are the longest-running, oldest improvisational theater in the South. Our work focuses on emotion, physicality, character, collaboration, and fun.
Upcoming Shows
Salad Days, an Improv Musical
April 26, 7:30-9:15 PM, The ArtsCenter, Carrboro
Salad Days is all about beginnings, of life, love, labor… You name it. And you will name it because our show is based on your suggestions and completely made up on the spot, from the songs to the scenes.
“I want you to know that I’m an Equity actress and it’s not just that I enjoyed your performance, it’s closer to say I was amazed at the quality and kind of improv that you did…” – Donna G., Atlanta
Tickets: $25 general, $15 student
Word Jazz
September 2025, 7:30-9:15 PM, Sharp Nine Gallery, Durham
Word Jazz, Actors Improv’s mashup of improvised theater and music, returns to Sharp Nine! Inspired by Ken Nordine’s eponymous 1957 album, Word Jazz is comprised of scenes based on improvised monologues and live music by a quintet. Spontaneous songs also figure into the mixture and it’s all initiated by audience suggestions. This show tends to sell out, so get your tickets early!
