True!mprov is a group that explores major life themes, including our relationship with God, through improvisational theater.
What? you might be thinking, I thought improv was comedy! How can you have a comedy show that talks about God? First of all, there’s nothing that says God doesn’t laugh along with us when we’re having fun. After all, He invented humor, so we’re confident He likes a funny joke too. Second, although most people associate improv theater and comedy, it also can have a more serious note. In fact, life itself is all about improvisation. Imagine that you get a phone call from a friend – your entire conversation is formed at that moment – you didn’t rehearse what you were going to say ahead of time.
At True !mprov performances, we laugh a lot, and have some of the serious stuff too (but not too serious – it’s supposed to be fun). Our shows are usually geared around a theme – some of them have been Strength, Love, Sacrifice, and Hope – but we really don’t know what will happen until the moment, so sometimes it’s not obvious how the theme plays into the performance.
