If you laugh, we’re doing comedy.
If you don’t, we’re doing drama.

Upcoming Shows

ImproValentine

 

February 14, 7:30-9:00 PM, The ArtsCenter, Carrboro

It’s our annual musical ride on the Love Roller Coaster!

“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 22, 2025, 7:30-9:00 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.

Tickets: $30 general, $20 student
