Improv at the Jungle Series
“With the recent closure of HUGE Theater, your Uptown home for improv for 15 years, local improv troupes and shows are needing to find new venues at which to perform. Jungle Theater, just blocks away from HUGE, has stepped up to be one of those venues.”
—Cherry and Spoon
In our new IMPROV AT THE JUNGLE series, the Jungle Theater partners with local improv groups to help support those local artists who continue the legacy of Improv in the LynLake community.

The Neighborhood Improv
Featuring Meredith Dylan, Ruben Gomez, Ike Okafor, Karyn Wilson, Meghan Wolff, Rita Boersma, Michael Rogers, Adam Mellerup
March 31, June 2, August 11
Welcome to The Neighborhood - where storytelling and improv join forces! Featuring people from the community telling real-life stories on stage, improvisors then use those stories as inspiration for scenes.
Each month, The Neighborhood features a local group to kick off the performance. After a brief intermission, the night’s storyteller and team of improvisers then create a show never before seen onstage.
Stick around after the show as The Neighborhood hosts an improv jam, where audience members and performers are invited to play together — on stage!
FEATURING
Off Book
March 3, April 14, June 16, July 21
HUGE Theater’s long-running hit is back — in a new home!
Every actor has that nightmare: it is opening night, and you never learned your part. Worse, you don’t even know what show you’re performing! But an actor’s nightmare is an improviser’s dream come true. In Off Book, we pair illustrious Twin Cities actors who have memorized a script with amazing improvisers who have absolutely no idea what they are getting into. We send them onstage, and watch the beautiful chaotic magic happen!
Featuring (March 3 cast)
Scripted Actors: Carolyn Pool, Chad Heslup, Jonathan Feld, Melanie Wehrmacher, Nick Wolf, Sulia Altenberg
Improvisers: Hannah Wydeven, MJ Matheson, Patrick McIntyre, Ross Flores, Samantha Harris, Shoshana Alexander Daniels
