For improvisors and those interested in learning about improv, the PIF Conference sponsored by ImprovUtopia offers lots of different sessions on all the aspects of being an improvisor: troupe performance, puppetry, slam poetry, starting and running a theater, sessions about teaching and coaching improvisors and being part of the greater improv community.

In addition to the great conference, we also have our amazing friend Miles Stroth teaching his workshop on Friday, so don’t miss that as well.

We are pleased to announce that the 11th Annual Phoenix Improv Festival (PIF) is scheduled for April 27-28, 2012. This festival, which celebrates and promotes the art of improvisational comedy, will be held in Stage West at The Herberger Theatre Center, located at 222 East Monroe Street in downtown Phoenix.

This year’s festival is taking a new direction, in that it will focus on a cross-section of Phoenix improvisational troupes, as well as showcasing troupes from some of the up-and-coming improvisational theatres from across the country. Attending performers include those from HUGE Theatre (Minneapolis, MN), Improv Utopia (Los Angeles), Black Box Theatre (Casa Grande) ColdTowne Theatre (Austin, TX), New Movement Theatre (Austin, TX), The Torch Theatre (Phoenix, AZ), Dearing Studios (Phoenix, AZ), NCT Phoenix (Mesa, AZ) and more.
