Backstage with the Playhouse | Ep. 1
This week, we sat down with guest instructor Shawn Kinley, who shares how he first stumbled into improv — and how a moment of curiosity turned into a lifelong journey.

A quiet reminder that sometimes the things that shape us most begin when we least expect it.

Improv in Real Life | Part 1: Games for Parties 🎉
We’re kicking off a new weekly series where we share simple, fun improv games you can try at home with friends, your partner, or with your colleagues!

This week’s game: I’ve Got a Better Idea — an easy way to get everyone thinking creatively and laughing together.
If you’ve been enjoying these games and want to try improv for yourself, our adult workshops are the perfect place to start!

If these walls could talk, they’d tell you about the nerves backstage, the laughter that filled the room, and the quiet moments of someone trying something new for the first time.
From first-time performers to team-building days and birthday celebrations — this place has seen it all.
It’s more than just a venue.
It’s a small theatre with a lot of heart.

Our final Maestro of the season was something special.
Not just because of the laughs (though there were many), but because this one was in support of @the.sparkle.foundation — with every donation going towards supporting children in Malawi.

If you’ve been enjoying these improv moments and thinking, maybe I could try that…
Our adult workshops — Sizzle Season — kicks off this July. No experience needed, just curiosity.
