What is Improv?

Improvisational theatre (also known as improv or impro) is a form of theatre in which the actors use improvisational acting techniques to perform spontaneously. Actors typically use audience suggestions to guide the performance as they create dialogue, setting, and plot extemporaneously. This means each show is different and unique. The audience makes a show amazing. If you are still unclear of what the meaning of improv is, check out one of our videos. They are in the "Media" tab.

Who are the Crayons?

Crayons started as an experiment to bring innovative comedy to Tulsa in a family friendly environment. Ready to take the leap, founders Nicole Cates and Dan Wootton held auditions adding Crayons cast members Lee Miller, Andrew McQuary, and Brittany Teague. The newly formed group opened their first performance July 20, 2007 at Carbondale Assembly to a sold out crowd of 150+. In August 2008, Crayons performed their first show at Agora Coffeehouse and found a regular home. Crayons has quickly become a catching wave in Tulsa. Valentine's weekend 2009 Crayons performed to 500+ people in 3 different venues.

Crayons performs every 2nd Friday of the month at Agora Coffeehouse in the Fontana Shopping Center. Please see show schedule for dates. Crayons will be expanding to new venues soon!

Crayons recently added featured players, Chris Crawford, Camille Pritchett, and Mary Glenn to their group. To learn more about the individual cast members go to the cast page and click on their picture.
