Announcement!
Improv is for everyone! First Fridays are Free for All, Fridays at 7 are Pay-What-You-Will, and now all other shows are implementing our new sliding scale ticket model! There are three tiers of ticket pricing; all tickets gain equal access to the theater space and differ only in price.
Access Ticket – $10
We offer this price point for students, seniors or anyone else served by this option.
Standard Ticket – $15
This price point helps us continue our mission and supports our basic expenses.
Supporter Ticket – $20
When you pay at the highest tier, you support Access Tickets for those who need them and our organization’s continued growth.
To cultivate community and equity, we invite our audiences to choose the tier that works best for them. No matter what you pay, we’re delighted to have you in our audience. Let’s make Lancaster a funnier place; together!
Upcoming Shows:
Two teams give you a taste of what improv can be, then you take the stage to show them how it’s done! Whether you’re a storied veteran of the stage, or a doing improv comedy for the first time, you’ll be supported by the evening’s coach in attempting games and scenes. Join us for a casual night out in downtown Lancaster City that will have you rolling in the aisles…well, aisle!
