Find Your Funny

With Your Unscrewed Theater Family!

 

 

An Astute Observation has Led to Laughter!


We get it.

Things have been rough lately - for a lot of us.

So we're committed and working every second to bring you the laughter you need.

And this weekend, we're here to help you find YOUR funny!

Maybe your first laugh will come from popping some popcorn and sitting down with the family to watch our Unscrewed Theater Family Friendly House Party.

Maybe you're feeling something a bit spicier, with colorful language and absolutely ZERO censorship, like our Saturday Uncensored Show.

Or maybe you're thinking about breaking out of your box and trying something new -- like an online workshop. You've baked your quarantine sourdough, now you want to try your hand at improv!

Try on improv for size with with well-known improv veteran Liz Allen. She's bringing her top skills to "Monologues & Their Many Uses" and "Patterns Are Like a Sourdough Yeast Starter...They Keep Things Going and Make More Things Grow" this Sunday @ 10AM & 2PM (that's AZ time, folks).

Perhaps you're part of an improv group ANYWHERE in the world that is looking for an opportunity to perform. Check out our Sunday SmashUp and see if your team would like to participate!

We KNOW it's been hard to find a reason to laugh lately. So we're doing the best we can to shine a light on our moments of funny - so you can laugh along with us.

Our first show tonight is chock-full of nothin' but homegrown FAMILY FRIENDLY comedy!

Grab some takeout from one of our amazing local restaurants and gather round the computer for a night of improv comedy that is guaranteed to have the whole family laughing!

Tonight's Unscrewed Theater House Party features special guest David Hepburn! David is coming to us live from the Black Improv Alliance in Miami, where he regularly performs with last week's guest Alex Taylor as one-half of the improv duo Cuzzins

UNCENSORED Improv Comedy

Put the kids to bed because our comedy night is about to heat up!

You asked for it, and we're here to deliver! UNCENSORED improv comedy, the socially-distant version, straight from our houses to yours!

You might recognize tonight's special guest from our sister theater, Tucson Improv Movement! We're thrilled to welcome Kurt Lueders to our virtual stage! Everybody has heard that old saying, "You don't need to be a rocket scientist to do improv." Well, everybody except Kurt. Only after completing a BS and MS engineering and getting a job as a rocket scientist did Kurt venture into the world of improv. 

And tonight, he's joining our Unscrewed Theater team members Adam, Jessica, Rosanne, Allana, Rick - & your host, Michael Pierce!
