After a long days work I go here and feel super energized afterwards. I can't tell you how much I laugh--classes here rock. The improv games and forms you learn are so much fun! Plus you get to meet people you'd otherwise never get to meet. Also it feels like the classes are not only entertaining but also challenging in a really good way. It's like personal growth in a super warm and fuzzy package.
The adage no pain no gain don't apply here as the teachers make it a fun place to explore and come our of your shell all while having a great time. It's really awesome that we have access to such high caliber classes without having to go into the city. I have had classes with Chris, David, and my current instructor is Jayson. All have been a blast. I can't stop taking classes here- never disappointed!

My boyfriend and I went with two other friends to see the group Battlefield Smurf. We had attended the "mature show" which it was not, or at least not what we've been used to at other clubs. There was maybe 2-3 dirty jokes told in the entire 1.25 hour performance. The rest was a bunch of jokes about Canada and were probably 6 scenes solely dedicated to Canada jabs.
The group was meh. The times our group participated/bantered with each other got the most laughs out of the show. They also had a large span of scenes where they didn't ask for any audience participation, which was strange. Will have to go back because with the nature of improv not all shows are perfect.

A theater gem in the midst of Lake County. My wife and I and friends went to a Saturday night show (1hr) after dinner - the perfect way to cap (or start!) a night with something more interesting, creative and fun beyond the typical dinner and drinks or a movie. We look forward to testing additional shows. Not only that, but you can even take Improv classes at adult, student or children level - I'm in one now and our class calls it, accurately, "adult recess". Definitely mix up your Friday or Saturday night and try them out - you may even have so much fun you'll decide to take a class :)

My wife and I saw a live "radio performance" of It's A Wonderful Life. I did not really know what to expect with this sort of performance. Granted my expectations were low, but I was pleasantly surprised. The case was very talented and put on an authentic old style radio performance. I was thoroughly entertained and impressed. I will definitely be going back!
