If you're struggling to let go of what's holding you back from fully expressing yourself, Improv is…read moreone of the most powerful solutions--and Improv LA is the place to be. The teaching approach is incredibly inspiring. You feel supported every step of the way, and all the teachers in the classes I attended were not only highly professional but also deeply encouraging. Even as a complete beginner, I never felt intimidated or out of place--you truly feel like you belong right away. I'm so grateful I found this school. After completing Level 1, I immediately enrolled in Level 2 and continued all the way through Level 4. I'm proud to say I completed the entire Improv program at Improv LA, and it has been such a transformative journey. I also took Comedy Sketch 101--it was a blast! I came in with no idea what to expect, and by the end, I created a sketch that made the whole class laugh out loud!

I've taken several classes at ImprovLA so far, Improv 101, Kelsey's class, a one-day Crew Improv…read moreworkshop with Ryan, and now Keith's Everyday Improv , and I'm genuinely blown away by this school. Every teacher I've learned from has far exceeded my expectations. Their skill, clarity, & support make the learning experience incredible. Even Ryan's three-hour one-day class last night felt like an entire six-week course because of how effectively she drilled the concepts & had us apply them in real time. And Keith's Everyday Improv has been transformative for everyday communication. It's the kind of class everyone should take, regardless of age or profession. ImprovLA consistently delivers engaging, energetic, & thoroughly taught classes in a supportive environment that makes growth feel exciting & achievable. I would HIGHLY recommend it to anyone looking to learn, connect, & build real confidence through improv. -Sarah Khan

So grateful that it was maintained as it was exception for some maintenance and repairs. The audience is very much behaved all throughout the show. No one is talking. No one is on their phones. Everyone is so focused on the play. How about you? Have you been to this place? What do you love about it.

This was my third show at the Pantages, and honestly every time the performances are amazing. This…read moretime we saw MJ The Musical, and it was really absolutely fantastic. The singers, dancers, sound quality - everything was very professional and enjoyable. The theater itself is also beautiful inside and always creates a special atmosphere. My only repeated complaint is how freezing cold it gets inside. I remembered this from my last visit, so this time I actually dressed very warmly boots, tights, leather pants, a warm sweater, and even kept my jacket on the whole show. And I was still cold. The AC is just way too strong, especially considering it was already spring outside. Also, drinks and snacks are extremely overpriced, as always. But overall, the show itself was fantastic and definitely left us with great memories again.

Everyone gave it their all, and you could really feel the passion. Sat in the second row nearest the stage, "best seats", and they were totally worth it, but I think from any spot in the house you'd have a good time. No section was 'ignored', so I wouldn't worry about missing out from any angle. I will definitely be back!!

All I can say is, Tennessee Williams would be UPSET that he hadn't written this amazing play! Pathos and bathos and drinking and smoking and sex and coming of age... created as we watched, with wild audience suggestions as prompts. (A boar's head heirloom, really??!). A terrific night of real theatre... which just happened to be improvised. Can't wait for the next one.

Obviously, there are many others who are enjoying great experiences with this theatre company, so it's fair to consider me and in this case, my friend, as in the minority and not having great experiences.

This particular show is part of the annual Fringe Festival, which is a mixed bag of shows, never knowing quite what you're going to get. I thought Ben brought a lot of energy to the show, told us fun stories, and dabbled in some magic here and there. Not your typical magic shows with card tricks and bunnies in hats, more of a storytelling show with moments of illusion. Obviously, Ben and his team put a lot of work into the show. It was my first time at the inconspicuous Skiptown Playhouse, but it worked for the show. A nice little black box theatre for quaint intimate productions here in LA.
