Edmonds Center for the Arts is delighted to welcome the world-famous Impro Theatre to the heart of Edmonds onMarch 28 for a night of unscripted hilarity and unplanned surprises!

No two performances are alike, so you have the opportunity to witness their creative retelling in real time as it unravels!

Impro Theatre and School is a non-profit theatre company that aspires to change the world through joyful artistic engagement by performing, teaching, and expanding storytelling through unscripted theatre. For more than 35 years, Impro Theatre has been constructing fully improvised plays inspired by the works of influential genres, playwrights, and authors. Its performers and faculty are professional actors, writers, and directors with decades of experience in theatre, television, film, and improv who research, study, and rehearse each new author or genre for months, learning everything there is to know about it before taking the stage. They combine verbal dexterity and robust physicality to bring character and story to life in an instant, making each Impro Theatre performance unique and unlike any other theatrical experience.

This performance features a FREE pre-show talk beginning at 6:00PM.
ECA asks that you kindly register by adding the pre-show talk to your cart at checkout if you wish to attend.

In connection with this performance, and in addition to the pre-show talk, ECA is pleased to offer a selection of FREE events that are open to the community.
