A Google reviewer once said, "Good venue, good crowd, good vibes." (William Shuey). Whether you're coming for a class, a show, or a fest, we can't wait to welcome you in State College 📍

Arts Fest Attendees 📢 Hop on down to the Blue Brick Theatre on West Calder Way! There are TWO more improv shows being held by Happy Valley Improv tonight at 8 p.m. and 10 p.m. Last night was packed, so be sure to get here early for a seat. You won't regret it. Expect the unknown 😂 You can attend either show (or both!) with the purchase of a $15 Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts Wristband available at the theatre and at many locations downtown.

When you're in town for the Happy Valley XL Improv Festival 2022, your daily schedule will include Local Activities in the morning, workshops in the afternoon and shows at night! We're looking forward to bringing everyone together.

Company Karaoke
As the home for Happy Valley Improv, we've been able to grow brick by brick with a lot of community support. Take a peak at the fun HVI had when they held a Company Karaoke to kick off the weekend!

How many shows have you caught in 2022 so far? The Blue Brick Theatre hosts improv and stand-up shows by Happy Valley Improv every Friday night at 7 p.m.

"I will say that Steve did improvise the line, 'I have egg in my Crocs.' It was very hard not to laugh, but it's true," The Office co-star Jenna Fischer revealed. What are some of your favorite tv moments you've come to learn were improvised? Read more about the moment: https://fal.cn/3k018
