Sign-ups are still open for our kids' summer camp program, but time is running out!

Our camp for kids ages 9-12 begins July 13th and July 20th — camp for kids ages 13-17 begins July 6th and July 27th! Kidprov is where kids come to learn the fundamentals of improv comedy and leave enriched with a rewarding experience that they will carry with them long after the summer is up. It all adds up to the Student Showcase at the end of the week - a chance to watch your kids laugh, riff, and apply what they learned with their fellow improvisers!

Sign-ups are open now at daytonblackboximprov.com!

Being a parent means constantly improvising. IYKYK. Father's Day is in a week, and we want to hear some stories from the father figures out there. We promise we won't laugh (yet). 👼😇

DADDALOGUES — June 20th. An improvised show inspired by the real stories of real dads. Funny. Heartfelt. Probably a little chaotic.

Doors open at 7:30 p.m. | Show at 8:00 p.m.
