We all panic sometimes. But something shifts when

We all panic sometimes. But something shifts when we face it together.
We play. We mess up. We laugh. And somehow, the fear feels lighter.

Don’t Panic isn’t about performing — it’s about showing up.
Our next course starts in a week, and there’s a space for you. Link in Bio to secure your spot.

Comment Below what makes you panic 👀

We couldn’t resist hopping on this trend — because honestly, it just makes sense to anyone who’s found their people through improv.
We started doing improv for all kinds of reasons. To try something new. To feel braver. To shake off the week.

But somewhere along the way, it became more than that. Not just a class. Not just a hobby.

Behind the Curtain | 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.

🎙️ New snippets every week

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.

What was your favourite memory of the theatre? Comment below!

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.
