Indigo Improv is coming to The CAT!

Columbiana — this one's for you. And it's completely free.

Indigo Improv is coming to the Columbiana Arts Theater this July for a special evening of live, unscripted comedy — featuring the scenes, games, and moments our troupe loves most. Think of it as our greatest hits, made up on the spot, from whatever the audience shouts at us.

If you've ever watched Whose Line Is It Anyway? and thought "I wish something like that existed near me" — it does. It's been here all along. And on this night, it's coming to the biggest stage in town.

No scripts. No roasting. No ticket price. Just seven Columbiana performers doing what they love, for the town they love, for the pure joy of making you laugh.

Bring your people. Bring your mom. Bring the neighbors who've never heard of improv. We'll take it from there.

You say yes to everything. You're the reliable one. The one who has it together.

You've got the guilt about all the things you're not doing while you're doing the things you are. You can't remember the last time you did something just because it felt good, not because it was productive. You're running on fumes and your phone is still buzzing.

And nobody's asking how you are. They're just asking what you're doing next.

SO WE'RE DOING A VARIETY SHOW.

Not a self-help seminar. Not a networking event. Not another thing on your to-do list.

Just 90 minutes where you don't have to be impressive. Where nobody needs anything from you. Where you can sit down and laugh with two people who see exactly how much you're carrying.

Musical parodies. Sketches. Banter. The kind of evening where you remember what it feels like to actually enjoy yourself instead of just tolerating yourself. Bring your friends. Bring whoever you've been too busy to call back. Bring yourself.

You've been productive enough. You've done enough. You've said yes enough.
