The Improv Shop is a St. Louis-based improvisational comedy theater and school.

In producing shows, we aim to create original, dynamic and fun shows using the tools of Chicago-style improv.

Our training program is the only multi-level program of its kind in the city. It's accessible to students of all ability and skill levels.

Improv training is a powerful and necessary tool for the working actor, a fun way to become a more confident public speaker, and an exciting means of self-expression.
