Mockingbird Improv was founded on the need to play. With everyone isolated at home amid a worldwide pandemic, playfulness was slowly draining from our lives. But those of us who believe play, laughter, and connection are integral to being human did not give up hope.

A year after losing our old theater to the destruction of the pandemic, it was time to look towards reinventing ourselves as something new and hopeful and winged! We wanted to bring back the same great shows and classes, and grow new and innovative programs. Mockingbirds are symbols of resilience and connection, and so it is on the back of these spirited birds that we once again take flight. Most excitingly, our story is still being written right now with your help. Like everything in Improv, the story cannot exist without the participation of the audience. Help be a part of our story by contributing to our efforts to build ourselves into a thriving arts nonprofit (read our mission below). Mockingbird Improv is a California nonprofit with tax exemption 501(c)3 status. All donations are tax exempt.

Your donation will go towards:

Paying our rent
Purchasing materials to build out a comfortable new theater
Acquiring furniture, plants, signage, and office supplies
Paying our dedicated team, who've been working so hard to get the stage lights back on
Promoting and marketing our classes and shows to spread improv joy
Provide scholarships to lower income children and adults whose lives can benefit from learning improv!

Mockingbird Improv’s mission is to provide connection, joy, and opportunities for self-expression to the local community. We serve all parts of our community, including youth and underserved people, by engaging in high-quality training and performances and providing a supportive and empowering space for fun, silliness, and growth through equitable, diverse, and inclusive practices. Through our programs performers, patrons, and students can express creativity, build confidence, and cultivate joy through laughter and play.
