The Peanut Gallery
Bringing laughter to the community!
Our new teen improv troupe, The Peanut Gallery, began in Spring 2019 to great success. We’re excited to keep it going!
Improv is a fun, fast-paced art form that requires the actor to think outside of the box. It demands focus, a willingness to listen and engage, and tells a story without the safety net of a script.
Troupe members explore and develop their improv, storytelling, acting, and teamwork skills in a safe, supportive environment. They work on acting exercises, short-form improv games, as well as long-form improv activities.
Our Education & Outreach Department introduced The Peanut Gallery as a way to create additional performance opportunities for teens. The long-term goal is for this group to be ambassadors of the theatre and bring laughter to the community.
Don’t miss their upcoming performance on the Pinkerton stage April 5.
Interested in being a part of it?
The next auditions for The Peanut Gallery will be held on Feb. 1 at 3 p.m.
The audition will consist of improv games. No experience or preparation necessary. Just come ready to play and have fun!
