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
Cowboy Christmas
Dec. 5, 7:30-9:15 PM, The ArtsCenter, Carrboro
Whether they’re out on the range or in town, cowboys gotta find that holiday spirit too. This musical celebration promises not so much to be based on historical facts as to be inspired by rootin’ tootin’ archetypes. It’s all made up on the spot and based on audience suggestions.
Tickets: $25 general, $15 student
Love Show Musical
Feb. 13, 7:30-9:00 PM, The ArtsCenter, Carrboro
It’s our annual tuneful homage to the ups and downs of romantic love.
“I’m still catching my breath from your Valentine’s Day Musical tour de force. I’m always amazed at the ability of great improvisers to seamlessly build character and narrative, but to successfully add music feels nothing short of heroic… I’ve seen many great shows in New York and London but this one left me breathless.” – Elizabeth A., Chapel Hill
Tickets: $25 general, $15 student
Word Jazz
March 27, 7:30-9:15 PM, Sharp Nine Gallery Jazz Club, 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.
Tickets: $25 general, $15 student
