Washington Improv Theater’s lease at Source Theatre will end after August.
“(y)Our Town'” has plenty of the joyful moments of most improv performances, but makes room to reflect on the trauma of the pandemic.
Washington Improv Theater’s “In Lieu of Flowers” includes eulogies and a montage of scenes from the life of the “deceased.”
This is an exploration of the teen movie form that has the potential to truly exorcise a lot of demons from a formative time in everyone’s life.
There is a slice of the population who believes that all improv theater is irredeemably awful. However, if you’re interested to see how the actors interpret your iTunes library, go see The Audio Files.
When it comes to finding free humor on the internet, the Craigslist missed connections board has always been a trove of comedic gems (OK, I’ll admit to perusing the MC listings in a non-humorous, semi-lovelorn mindset). For those of you too lazy to read through the dozens — nay hundreds –missed connections, SocialStudiesDC, the beta city-blog under the coupon giant LivingSocial, has done some of the work and reading for you. The blog picked out a few gems and had actors from the Washington Improv Theater conduct dramatic readings of them, background music and all.

The Warehouse is still looking for a new home. Despite the usual winter doldrums that December brings, there are still a number of…
FRIDAY: >> Starting tonight, George Mason Stadium plays host to the region’s annual D.C . College Cup. The soccer teams of George Washington, American, Howard, and George Mason will square off in two rounds of games. Though the tournament is conspicuously missing national powerhouses UMD and UVA, the event will still showcase some of the best young talent around. GW and AU kick off tonight’s slate (5:00 p.m.), with Howard and GMU rounding the night…
Washington Improv Theater knows that it’s intern harvest season. By day, the twenty-somethings flip and flop in business casual around the Hill and by night, drunkenly attempt to figure out the Metro rail system. WIT has been studying the funny critters for their second (and final) installment of an intern-themed improv comedy night called “WIT Hot American Summer.” Ken Hays and Rich Nyman, the stars of the two-man show, aren’t actual interns, but they know…
