Since our founding, Steel City Improv Theater has believed in the transformative power of improv—not just on stage, but in everyday life.
Applied Improv takes the principles of improvisational theater—active listening, collaboration, adaptability, and creative problem-solving—and brings them into the real world. Whether you’re leading a team, navigating change, or trying to communicate more effectively, improv offers tools that help people connect, think on their feet, and respond with confidence.
Unlike traditional training models, Applied Improv is experiential. That means participants learn by doing—through laughter, play, and real-time feedback. It’s not about being funny. It’s about practicing presence, trust, and the ability to respond with “yes, and” instead of “no, but.”
At Steel City Improv, we’ve worked with educators, healthcare providers, nonprofits, corporations, and entrepreneurs. Our workshops have met the needs of tons of groups, whether they’re building a stronger team, developing leadership skills, or fostering a more inclusive and resilient workplace culture.
Improv isn’t just entertainment—it’s preparation for the unpredictable. Let us show you how.
