It sounds bizarre in description. However, it was absolutely incredible, touching, and funny… [It] is so fascinating because it is not like other improv.

We offer something exciting for New York - a blend of interactive performance and impromptu storytelling. Essentially, we invite an audience member to step onstage and go on a journey.

Both observing and participating audience members find themselves reliving the experience long after the show. Here’s a taste of what participants are saying:

Within seconds, I was whisked on a fast-paced, exhilarating journey. It is a thrill of a lifetime.
- Lanie Zipoy

The contained universe is all theirs to explore, to test the boundaries.
- Barton Bishop

This is unlike anything I’ve ever seen in the theater.
- Ben Kawaller

It was both extraordinarily complicated and wickedly simple - the experience of acting without lines has never felt so emotionally satisfying.
- Ryan McCurdy


Blending interactive performance with narrative improvisation, we invite three audience members (typically non-actors) on stage each night to play the protagonist of a new story. We bring to mind Theatre of the Oppressed or Life Game, but we guarantee a performance unlike any other. Come see how powerful improv can be.
