    Teen Field Trips, Improv Comedy Shows & Workshops, Times Square NYC

    We love performing shows for school groups that visit from around the world. Even more rewarding, leading young talent to amazing heights. But don’t take our word for it….

    FROM TODAY…

    “Thank you so much for a WONDERFUL experience today. My students could not stop talking about it on the bus ride back to school. I can’t wait to bring another group next year. Thank you again.”

    • Joanna Beck, Hackensack Middle School

    Today, Wednesday, April 17, 2024, we hosted 40 8th graders from Hackensack New Jersey for a show and due to extra time, an impromptu workshop. Our shows are very interactive and musical. Five different games invited students on stage, including sound effects and human mad libs, where students very directly steer the professionals on their path. Human Slide Show, or FREEZE FRAME, has students posing to depict a mock slide show, narrated by our comics. Three Headed Expert and Four Square actually have a student performing along side the pros. The show is framed by 3-4 musical elements, including SING IT, a mock Broadway show improvised upon a single word.

    FROM YESTERDAY…

    Walt,We would like to send a massive “THANK YOU” to you and the crew!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Your care and support for young adults shines through as someone whose heart is committed to make a difference. I am not sure if you know this but every so often you would make a reference to a life lesson that makes me stop and think and I am sure it resonated with the students. They are all talking about their experiences today.

    • Roy Balgobin, The High School for Arts and Technology booked via Young Audiences New York

    On Tuesday, April 16, 2024, we hosted 70 high school seniors for show, workshop and full workshop.

    Our workshops allow the students to experience being on stage, playing games they could take back to school and put up a show. We discuss topics like stage freight, team work, basic performance skills, projection, and so much more. IMPROV IS SEL. In our work with corporate groups we use Improv to teach team building, leadership, sales and service skills. Simply playing these games develops creativity, critical thinking, public speaking, listening, focus, self confidence, self awareness and more.

    We host student groups from around the world almost daily. In fact, yesterday, our sister company IMPROV 4 KIDS hosted a Bronx elementary school, with 100 k2 students. Located just one block from the Colbert show stage door in Midtown Manhattan, less than a 5 minute walk from every Broadway theater, we have two theater spaces with over 200 seats combined. Further we tour k12 schools, camps, community centers and family events DC to BOSTON and beyond every week.
