Backstage with the Playhouse | Ep. 3 Shawn Kinley

Backstage with the Playhouse | Ep. 3

Shawn Kinley reminds us of something beautifully simple:
Kids are the best improvisers — curious, fearless, and fully present.
In this episode, he shares a wild (but true) story about a cat who stole the show… and ended up teaching a stage full of adults how to really listen to an audience.

Sometimes, the best directors aren’t even human.
🎭 Full podcast coming soon

Part 3 of Improv in Real Life: Conducted Story 🎤📖

In this game, players tell one story together — but only speak when the conductor points to them. It’s about listening, building off each other, and letting go of control (in the best way).

Improv isn’t just for the stage — it’s a great way to practice collaboration, storytelling, and being present.

Which of the 3 games so far has been your favourite? Let us know — and maybe even try one with a friend!

POV: Accidentally walking through the wrong door

POV: Accidentally walking through the wrong door of a theatre…

…and now you’re in a “cold reading” but it’s actually freezing. There’s a tech run, but no one’s jogging.

Welcome to the chaos — we love it here.

Week 2 of Summer Camps — done! We played, we reh

Week 2 of Summer Camps — done!
We played, we rehearsed, we laughed (a lot)... and for many, it was their very first time on stage.

There’s nothing like watching confidence grow in real-time — and we’re so proud of every single camper who showed up, got brave, and performed their hearts out.

On to Week 3!

Interested? Register now through the link in Bio !
