Frequently Asked Questions

Are the Saturday morning shows performed by trained, adult improvisers doing improv for kids? Or kids & families doing improv? Or somewhere in-between?

The Saturday morning shows are performed by trained adult improvisers. Audience members participate by giving suggestions, providing sound effects/call & response, and by coming onstage as volunteers throughout. Volunteers are generally set up by the adult cast as either characters or story elements that lend detail and humor to the existing scene. Since every audience is different and each show is unique, there are definitely times when audience member participation varies.

Can we host a Birthday party at the show?

Definitely. You can buy a tickets in advance online and attend as a group. If you contact us in advance, we’re happy to reserve a section for your party when possible. We also offer private Birthday Party events that include a short Improv class, a full length interactive show and the option of a dance party onstage after cake. Contact us at exabimprov@gmail.com for details.

Does ColdTowne sell concessions?

Yes! We have a snack counter where one can purchase a variety of snacks and drinks. It’s not a full breakfast, but it’s fun.
