Follow Us:

The award-winning Polyesters Improv Team has been in existence for decades, creating theatre on-the-fly out of audience suggestions.  Tonight we celebrate our proud tradition! Welcome to high school improv at its finest!

Our troupe came back from its musical hiatus in March, to learn story-building principles from our Improv Coach, Gale.  Tonight you will see both Shortform and Longform games, created on the spot by our quick-thinking team.
