About Event

A night of improvised games, scenes, and a musical all coming together to spark original stories, songs, and big finales!

Tickets must be purchased for this event at the door for $10 with cash or Venmo!

​Come join us for a night of laughter and spontaneity at Old Major! Grab some food, some drinks, and a great seat so you can laugh into the night! Doors open at 6PM for food and beverage service, and the improv starts at 7PM.

​"What is improv?" you may ask. Great question, you're very smart! Improv is a form of comedy where everything is made up on the spot and inspired by audience suggestions. So come out and see some comedy that's never been done before and will never be done again!

​This event will feature 3 distinct improv teams performing their own sets, plus 2 bonus sets made up from members of the different teams. Featured amongst these bonus sets will be short improv games like those from "Whose Line Is It Anyway?", some of which will have (voluntary) audience participation!

It’s Unofficial, an indie improvised musical that doesn’t need approval. Every show is completely unauthorized, unscripted, and unrepeatable. Expect story-driven performances with wild characters and grand story arcs, original songs, clever lyrics, and surprising twists. Whether you love Off-Broadway-style creativity, genre mashups, or high-energy fun, this intimate, immersive show gives Baltimore a bold, experimental, must-see indie musical that pushes the limits of Baltimore theater.

Accessibility: Venue is NOT accessible, as it's up a flight of stairs.

Location
900 S. CAREY STREET; BALTIMORE, MD 21223


FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

​What Is an Improvised Musical?

​An improvised musical is just like a regular musical, but every song, scene, and character is made up right there on stage. When you come to one of our shows, you’ll see performers create full songs and tell a story—all without a script. We start with a single word from the audience and then dive right into making it all up, including improvised songs that fit the scene. Each musical is one-of-a-kind, so you’ll never see the same show twice.

​What Will I See at a Show?

​At our shows, you’ll watch as we build an improvised musical from scratch. We take one word from the audience to get started, and then we make up everything—characters, conflicts, resolutions, and, of course, improvised songs. The story might have heroes, villains, friendships, and surprises, and it all unfolds right before your eyes. The songs are completely original and made up, and they bring the whole musical to life!

​Is It Really Improvised?

​Yes! It’s all completely improvised. Nothing is planned ahead of time. Every line, every scene, and every song is made up on the spot. We love the challenge of making it all work together, and the audience’s suggestion helps guide us. Because it’s all created through improv, each musical show is unique, with improvised songs you’ll only hear once. It’s all about creativity, teamwork, and embracing the unexpected. ​ ABOUT BALTIMORE MUSICAL IMPROV

​At Baltimore Musical Improv, we create improvised songs and musicals filled with improvised songs that come to life on the spot. Each show and workshop is different because everything is made up on the fly. We start with a word from the audience, and from there, our team jump into creating a whole new story, with brand-new characters and scenes. It’s a musical adventure that’s completely unscripted!

​We’re a nonprofit group supported by Fractured Atlas, and our mission is to bring the joy of improvised musicals to the Baltimore community. We believe anyone can join in and be part of this unique, creative experience—no singing or acting skills required to start!

​Our Mission and Community

​Every person who joins us helps make our group special, and we’re excited to grow together. We’re all about bringing improvised musicals to Baltimore and building a community around it.

We partner with groups like Highwire Improv and the Baltimore Improv Group to help them offer more musical classes, workshops, and shows.
