Longform improvisation show by Improv Salt Lake, with student performers from its classes, at The Alliance Theater.
Improv Salt Lake is holding residency at The Alliance Theater in Salt Lake City, with shows running Thursdays and Saturdays at 7:30 PM. On certain dates, they add a late-night show at 9:30 PM.
It's a double-sided operation. The company stages longform improv—the kind where a single suggestion can stretch into a full evening of connected scenes—and they also bring students from their classes up on stage. That means you'll see seasoned performers alongside people still finding their footing, which is part of the draw. The casts rotate, so the energy changes from night to night.
There's a clear split in the programming. Some nights are billed as family-friendly, with rotating casts and groups playing improv games, stories, and songs for all ages. The late-night shows carry a content warning and aren't intended for younger audiences, so you'll want to check the time before you bring the kids. The company also incorporates ASL into its work, using it as both an artistic and comedic medium.

Improv Salt Lake describes itself as a central hub for improvisation in Salt Lake County, and the residency at The Alliance is where that comes together: performance opportunities, accessible education, and a structure for professional practice. The work has drawn praise from local critics, with the Rhetorical Review calling it a demonstration of "the power of laughter to unite and uplift."
Tickets are $10. Shows run Thursdays and Saturdays at 7:30 PM, with late-night sets at 9:30 PM on select dates.
