Steel City Improv Theater

Established in 2010, Steel City Improv Theater is Pittsburgh’s original home for long form improvisational comedy. In addition to offering improv comedy shows every weekend, Steel City Improv Theater provides a full improv curriculum as well as custom tailored corporate workshops and shows that can help create a specialized and targeted learning experience. At the Steel City Improv Theater (SCIT), we believe in Applied Improvisation. We know that improv classes can do more than just make you funnier. By applying the principles of improv to your life, you can evolve as a parent, mentor, entrepreneur, employee and friend. You become an active listener, learn how collaborate on innovative ideas, and gain the confidence to present your ideas with precision. We have combined the best training techniques from New York, Chicago and Los Angeles improv theaters to craft the SCIT Philosophy: LISTEN. COMMIT. PLAY LISTEN. We can be so concerned with being heard that we forget to listen. Truly listening is hard, but by staying in the moment, we discover a world of possibilities. COMMIT. Accepting others’ ideas is difficult, but committing to our own ideas can be an even bigger challenge. With improv training, we learn to break through the inner critic that normally stops us. PLAY. With a sense of play, we find an endless sense of possibility and inspiration. When our teammates have that same sense of imagination, it makes the word “failure” seem less intimidating and more exciting.
