About This Is Improv
Who Is This Is Improv
We began in 2015 with the dream of bringing the creativity and collaboration of improv to Broward County.
We have accomplished that and so much more with twists, turns, and lots of improv along the way. And we are nowhere near finished yet!
This Is Improv is an improv theatre, performance school, and corporate training resource.
Find Your Funny
You're not like everyone else. That means your brand, voice, and sense of humor aren't like everyone else's either.
At This Is Improv, we believe in the power of individuality and diversity as a means to strengthen the whole, or as we like to call it, the ensemble.
With a range of shows, classes, workshops, and more, we can't wait to help you find YOUR funny!
Meet the Founders
This Is Improv is a woman-owned and founded improv company.
Also known as the Zadak Sisters, Angelica and Alexandra Zadak started This Is Improv in 2015 while still in college at Nova Southeastern University. They fell in love with the Chicago Styled Improv they saw and learned at The Second City.
Eventually, This Is Improv grew with Angelica acting as the head writer and Alexandra managing the technical aspects and the direction of shows. And as sisters do, they sometimes dip their toes into the other sister's business.
Community
At This Is Improv, we aim to build a community that amplifies support and encouragement so that our members can freely explore their interests and pick up the skills they need to find their funny.
Creativity
At This Is Improv we aim to let creativity lead us in discovering new ways to tell stories, connect with others, and help others find their funny.
Fun
At This Is Improv we aim to have fun. Yes, fun. It sounds simple, and it is as long as we don't let the small stuff get in the way. Having fun is the key component in finding your funny.
