Improv: Fun—and Good for You, Too!
Feeling like you need a creative outlet? Do you like acting but not memorizing lines? Why don’t you 
consider taking up improv? Improv is short for improvisational theater. It is a form of theater in which the 
actors make up scenes, characters, and dialog as they go along. There are no scripts, no costumes, and 
usually no props. Improv is occasionally used in serious theater, but it is best known in its comedic form.
One or more improvisers take the stage. One of them uses a suggestion to initiate, or start, a scene. 
Another actor reacts to the initiation. The most effective initiations give concrete information but leave the 
situation open enough for another improviser to add his or her own ideas. For example, an improviser may 
initiate by inhaling deeply and saying, “Now, this is what I call a motorcycle morning!” The audience knows 
it is morning, and that the character has a positive feeling about motorcycles. But what exactly does 
“motorcycle morning” mean? A second improviser may respond, “Awesome, sir! I’ll get the eggs and 
grease.” The audience now wonders why she would want to get eggs and grease. By now the audience 
is hooked and cannot wait to go along for the ride.
Improv comedy is fun and spontaneous. It trains you to respond in the moment and keep a flexible, 
open mind. It helps you get comfortable with taking risks. Because a good scene depends on responding 
meaningfully to your scene partner, it builds trust and openness. It is also great for honing listening skills 
and sharpening the memory. So what are you waiting for? Grab some friends, and let your inner comic 
loose! Growth and laughter know no age limits!
