Improvisational Theater

  • aka: improv

Improvisational theater (often called improv) is a form of theater where most or all of the performance is unscripted and created spontaneously by the actors. The performers typically invent dialogue, characters, and plotlines on the spot, often based on audience suggestions. The key is creativity, quick thinking, and collaboration.

Examples of Improv:

  1. Whose Line Is It Anyway? – A popular improv TV show where comedians perform spontaneous skits based on prompts.
  2. The Second City – A famous improv comedy theater in Chicago that has produced many notable comedians.
  3. Improv Everywhere – A group that stages spontaneous performances in public spaces.
