We are Dayton's only long-form improv joint so come spend a couple hours with us and laugh the night away! Our improvisors are locally trained (see our classes!) and we have a variety of shows ranging from explorations based on your personal stories, to on-the-spot one-act plays, to the local favorite improvised musical featuring Trey Stone, beloved musician and former music director for Second City Chicago, and the rest of the Black Box Band! 
Check out all our show formats here.
