Case in point: our next show is one week away and we are just now updating the website.  Procrastination is a fine art – put it off as long as possible but not so long that no one knows just when the next show is.

We recommend not procrastinating too long in deciding to attend the next performance or you will miss out on all the fun not to mention the snacks!

It’s again time for another side-splitting performance of True!mprov. This will be our last regular show until fall as we take a well-deserved summer vacation. True!mprov will perform this Saturday night, June 14 at 8:00 pm. As usual, doors will open at 7:32. Our theme this month is MERCY.

We will again be performing at our downtown Vancouver location: 915 W. 13th Street, on the corner of W. 13th and Jefferson . Click here for a map and look for our True!mprov signs the night of the performance.

This is a space we are borrowing from Open House Ministries, the family shelter for which we ask for donations of $3/person or a personal care item each month. Open House Ministries helps homeless families get back on their feet again by providing shelter, counseling, addiction recovery services, and assistance with job skills.

June 21
Then on June 21, we’ll be performing at a fundraiser for Milwaukie Christian Church. Watch for more details in the next few days.
