| Primary Exempt Purpose | Our mission is to build a better world through improvisational theater. We strive to do this in three different ways. First, by performing our shows. With each performance, we invite our community to come together and celebrate its common humanity through laughter, insight and understanding. Second, by teaching improvisation to others. In our renowned School of Improvisation, we foster the collaborative philosophy unique to our form of art. And finally, by reaching out to the next generation. Our ongoing theater enrichment programs in schools and libraries offer our kids the invaluable life skills, such as teamwork, acceptance, and cooperation, that are inherent to the practice of all live theater and especially to improvisation. | PrimaryExemptPurposeTxt |
