FAQ

Who is Steel City Improv Theater?

Steel City Improv Theater (aka The SCIT) offers the best and most comprehensive long form improvisation training in the Pittsburgh, PA area. Our Improv Level Program is designed to train our students to succeed at comedy and life. Our teaching staff is always improving our own skills in improvisation through workshops and training with instructors from New York, Chicago and Los Angeles.

We focus on bringing out the fun and positivity in all of our students. You’ll learn to work as a team while bringing out the best in you. You are enough. In addition to our level class system, you will find special workshops with exciting guest instructors from theaters around the country.

Are there age limits for shows?

Our policy is no one under 16 will be admitted without an adult. Due to the nature of improvisation, we can not make any guarantees about the content of the show. However, we teach our students to improvise at the height of their intelligence which usually results in the content being much like that of a PG-13 film.

IF you do bring someone under 16, please be aware that if they disrupt the performance, you may be asked to leave without a refund.
