IMPRO MELBOURNE

'Impro Melbourne' is an improvisational theatre company in the Australian city of Melbourne. Formed by Russell Fletcher and Christine Keogh in 1996 it is now run by Artistic Director Patti Stiles, General Manager Jenny Lovell and Committee chaired by Anna Renzenbrink.
Since 1996 Impro Melbourne has expanded its activities to produce varied forms of theatre, all using improvisation as a base, alongside a programme of shows and workshops for schools. Impro Melbourne currently produces the popular Theatresports™, along with Keith Johnstone's two other competition formats Micetro™ and Gorilla Theatre™. Impro Melbourne regularly performs formats from improvisation companies in North America and Canada and has also developed and produced its own improvised formats including long form plays where the entire evening is an improvised play, often in a particular genre.
Impro Melbourne performs in theatres across the city of Melbourne including Theatreworks, La Mama Theatre, Carlton Courthouse, Melbourne Town Hall and has been a regular feature at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. As well as theatre performances Impro Melbourne has a programme of demonstration shows and workshops for secondary schools which tours the state through Regional Arts Victoria.
