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
Word Jazz
September 26, 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: $30 general, $20 student
Spooky Show

Tickets: $25 general, $15 student
Holiday Musical
Dec. 4, 7:30-9:15 PM, The ArtsCenter, Carrboro

Tickets: $25 general, $15 student
