SHOWS - ImproVACATIONS!™
ImproVACATIONS!™ presents a fully improvised, fully audience participatory comedy show with randomized short form improv structures & acting challenges amplified by the audience who participate ON STAGE in EVERY scene!
Each scene is a high energy mini-show opportunity incorporating one (or more) audience members ON STAGE to write, direct, and even STAR with our hilarious improv actors (and often SPECIAL GUESTS), increasing the audience’s enjoyment exponentially by not only seeing art & comedy being created before their eyes but also helping create it!
Want to really FEEL what improv is instead of just watching it?
Take an ImproVACATION!
VS!™
VS!™ throws out the challenge towel of COMPETITIVE IMPROV ACTING to YOU the audience who gets to decide who lives (er, wins) in a novel start-as-strangers, end-as-friends hilarious evening of individual and group contests ON STAGE!
PRN and other regional improv stars and SPECIAL GUESTS partake in a series of increasingly hysterical solo, paired, and group scenes with awards (or Trophies of Dubious Value) at stake with a chance to establish a living and lasting legacy of improv showcase-manship (trust us, it's a word) courtesy of the massive audience support necessary to propel the winning folks to the finish.
It’s Medieval Times and Survivor meet improv acting with YOU deciding the winner in VS! ™
Sketchy!™
Sketchy!™ is an intimate yet hilarious medium & long form improv scene-based show providing a 'behind the scenes' look at how SKETCH COMEDY AND PLAYS are created from thin air!
See a story or musical come to life (or finally just get to the point somehow) through PRN’s audience-tailored frameworks, unique improv mechanics, sketch premises, and various long form rotational scenes where YOU DECIDE which way the story goes!
Create-your-own-sketch-and-story evening with Sketchy! ™!
Game Night!™
Game Night!™ is PRN’s newest evening of hanging out with PRN’s finest to ENJOY GROUP GAMES improv style!
Finish dinner and come play with PRN's show hosts ON STAGE in a relaxed but hilarious night of new characters, new ideas, and new takes on traditional party & card games.
It’s a great way to wind down, or wind up before one of PRN’s absurdly hilarious other shows!

MORE ABOUT US!
PRN’S UNIQUE IMPROVISATIONAL THEATER-STYLE SHOWS
For the Audience member, Show Booker, or casual interested observer…
Here’s the secret: PRN's unique blend of show theater-focused variety improv revolves around the premise that improvisational theater, while difficult, is accessible to EVERYONE and is ACTUALLY ENHANCED by the ultimate in random input: YOU!
Which also makes PRN the “MOST DANGEROUS IMPROV THEATER TROUPE” AROUND!
Tell me more! Most “improv” is treated similarly to comedy shows that either focus on standup comedy, or at best reiterations of practice games or versions of play scenes where the audience contribution is nothing more than some starting items, then remaining on the sidelines to watch the presenters. Shows are often “what if” arrangements that may result in an evening of amusement, or detour into chaos and chance.
Funny, yes. Structured professional theater-type show? Not often. Ultimate improvisational theater experiences? No, not yet...it's still missing...YOU!
PRN has worked tirelessly over a decade to develop a number of professional THEATER-SHOW QUALITY short and long form unique improvisational shows that truly engage EVERYONE in the audience and at times ON STAGE, either through randomly selected high energy mini-scenes, in-show voting and evaluation, audience-developed writing and/or direction, and ultimately actually ACTING with our stellar performers ON STAGE, creating a never-duplicated experience with participants wanting to return over and over again (and again - seriously, we have to close sometimes, go get some rest!).
Why “DANGEROUS”? Don’t worry, it’s a good thing! You NEVER KNOW what WE’LL bring to the show, and in return we NEVER KNOW what “Extra” YOU’LL be bringing (don’t worry: we’re professionals, and we’ll help every step of the way!).
Given this, NO OTHER SHOW has an extra dimension of “What The Heck Will Happen?”, but also amped-up hilarity in a group approach that brings individuals together overnight into a (dare we say it) family?
How? PRN’s shows are typically performed in either a set 60-90 minute block or in two (2) 40-45 minute sets with a short intermission. When attending, plan to be ready with your wittiest suggestions and positive attitude to share not only with our experienced improv hosts but with the entire audience in general. Don't worry, we only get volunteers so no 'pick on you' worries like other comedy shows (well...no, okay, we won't. Seriously).
And by showcasing YOU and the AUDIENCE, every night is a special feature starting the best people we love to work with…say it with us…YOU!
Bottom line: Would YOU like to have control of your evening's entertainment, where YOU write, YOU direct, and ultimately YOU STAR with friends & family enjoying the ride while professional improv actors are at your beck and call for stardom? Or would you just like to sit back and watch the funny people entertain you?
(Hint: YOU can do both with PRN!).
