Improv in Toronto

Hey everyone!

We realize that we haven’t run a lot of missions run this summer after Free Hugs and Improv Day, so we figured we’d give you all an update on what we’ve been doing lately. Improv in Toronto has a couple missions in the works for the fall season that we’ve been planning over the summer.  One of which will probably be one of our best missions run yet, so we really hope you can make it out!

Also, we are always looking for people who are interested in helping us with planning missions. So if you are interested in helping with the planning process, or if you have some ideas of your own that you would like to pitch, feel free to join us on our planning board! If you are new to Improv in Toronto, be sure to sign up to our mailing list to stay up to date on future missions and other Improv in Toronto updates! Also make sure you subscribe to our youtube channel to watch all our previous missions!

Improv in Toronto and Impatient Theatre Co. are coming together to run a day full of fun and games. Come on out to Centre Island for a day of meeting new people and playing around.

This is bound to be a fantastic day. It’s a chance to meet-up with friends from previous events, as well as improv classes. Whether you know others going or not, this is an opportunity to get involved with an amazing community, and meet a ton of really cool people.

With that said, we’re keeping the organization to the minimum. We just want to hang out. And there is no better place to do it then Centre Island.

Be sure to bring along a soccer ball or football, cameras, beach clothes/chairs/blankets, as well as some food and drinks. We’re planning on having a couple barbecues going, but we will update that when we know for sure.

Anyways, just be sure to save the date: July 17!

Completed Missions

Toronto’s 4th Annual Subway Dance Party was a huge success today. With approximately 240 participants, we filled up almost three full trains!

If you were there, comment below with any experiences you may have had! We love hearing individual stories about the ride. From your own experiences, to conversations you may have overhead. We’re also looking for any links to pictures or video, of the event!

A mission report with all the best pictures, and a fantastic video will be up hopefully within a couple weeks, so keep checking back!

Thanks to everyone who came out, and we hope to see you again soon! If you are new to Improv in Toronto, be sure to sign up for our mailing list to stay up to date on all future missions, as well as our facebook group! You can also help us out by subscribing to our youtube channel!

A protest, protesting the act of protesting. Ironic much? Improv in Toronto ran this hilarious protest just after April Fools Day, with intent to fool and confuse those who witnessed the protest. Check out the video, and then continue below to see some pictures of the event!

Thanks to everyone who came out! We had a fantastic time running the event, and we truly hope you enjoyed yourselves. Like all events, we had our share of problems (To name a few: running out of lists, no megaphone, long lines) but we worked through them and have learned our lesson. Be ready this time next year, for an even bigger, wilder and crazier scavenger hunt.

The event had an amazing turnout, with a huge range of ages participating. And more importantly, everyone competed with vigor and enthusiasm, which made it all the more exciting. It also helped having beautiful weather, awesome participants, and eager helpful store employees (The guy at the apple store must have handed out over 60 business cards!)

And a big congratulations to our top four teams:

1. Random People – 1375

2. Joes – 1340

3. Scram – 1320

3. International – 1320

The pressure is now on for them to keep their title next year.

Feel free to continue below, to check your own teams scores.
And please leave a comment at the bottom, about any fun exciting experience you may have had during the day!
