We’re thrilled to have you! Here’s some more information about the show you’re about to see tonight, as well as more about Washington Improv Theater.
About our spring shows
This run features ten performances of People of the District—a show based on an interview with someone doing amazing things in DC. First, we interview a special guest about their life, their vocation and passions, and what makes DC special to them. Then we’ll improvise a fun and freewheeling montage of scenes inspired by our interview. See our list of guests here.
The run also features three performances by And, Scene—a mash-up of scripted performance and improv—and performances by our company ensembles and special guests. Check out the full line-up here.
