Louisville Improvisors originated ensemble improvisation in Louisville in 1999 and have continued to explore the unique art form of Theatrical Improvisation ever since.  Their concept shows walk the tightrope of unscripted theatre... combining traditional stage work with the unpredictable elements of improv. The result is an adrenaline pumping evening where anything goes... and usually does.
