The weather’s warming up, and so is the comedy!
We’ve got a wild March Mashup, brand-new improv classes, and plenty of laughs ahead. Whether you’re looking to watch, play, or learn, we’ve got you covered.
Conservatory Showcase + LIRP (Live Improvised Role Play): Earth Day Edition
Saturday, April 26th
The District Theatre Cabaret — 627 Massachusetts Ave
7PM – Conservatory Showcase
8PM – LIRP (Live Improvised Role Playing)
The evening kicks off at 7:00 PM with a fast-paced BTC Conservatory Showcase, featuring fresh, fearless improv from our rising performers.
Then at 8:00 PM, the adventure continues with LIRP: Earth Day Edition, where performers take on the roles of fantasy adventurers navigating an eco-themed quest. A narrator guides the journey, but every challenge, twist, and turn is created live — through improv games, audience input, and a whole lot of imagination.
Whether you’ve never rolled a die in your life or you’ve got a character sheet in your wallet, this show is for you.
Fantasy. Comedy. Chaos. One night only.
We’re Having Auditions on April 30th!

So save the date. Show up. Sing your heart out. Eat amazing food. Buy raffle tickets. Win big. Meet cool people. Fall in love (or more in love). Pet a dog (maybe?). And help us build what comes next.
