Improv Night!

👀 If you recognize where these pictures were taken…you might just be an SIUE Theatre & Dance Department alum! 🎭💙

Monkey Noodle Theatrics had the pleasure of sitting in on auditions at SIUE as we cast the talented actors who will be bringing Thumbelina (by our NewdleWorks winner Cory Gaff) to life this semester! 🌸✨

We are SO thankful to be teaming up with the amazing students and faculty at SIUE Theatre & Dance. We can’t wait to see what this wonderful collaboration creates - and to introduce audiences to a whole new world of tiny adventures! 🦋🌷

Stay tuned for more behind-the-scenes glimpses as we get ready for Thumbelina!

🌸 Bring a little magic - and a BIG message - to your school this October! 🌸

Monkey Noodle Theatrics, in collaboration with the SUE Theater Dept., is proud to bring Thumbelina to local schools during Anti-Bullying Month! 🦋🌷

🏆 Winner of our NoodleWorks Young Playwright Competition

No scripts. No set lines. No idea what’s going to happen next.

Sometimes that means creating unforgettable characters. Sometimes it means laughing until you cry. And sometimes…it means accidentally breaking a window mid-scene. 😅

Every Monkey Noodle Theatrics short-form improv show is completely unscripted, so every performance is truly one of a kind. Join us for our family-friendly shows or stick around for our adults-only performances - either way, you’ll never see the same show twice.

The unexpected isn’t a possibility…it’s the whole point. 🎭

Scripts are on the table. The work begins. 🎭

Thank you to everyone who joined us today to audition for A Night of Susan Glaspell. We were blown away by the talent, preparation, and creativity in the room. It’s a privilege to work alongside so many incredible artists, and we’re excited to bring Trifles and Suppressed Desires to the stage this November.
