For Pros

AUDITIONS

Pssst, YOU. Seasoned improviser. You’re looking to stay sharp, have fun and play with other experienced players, right?  Here’s the skinny:

Auditions for the performance troupe will be held on

MONDAY, 12/22 at 7:00-8:00 p.m.

You’ve taken the classes at Flying Pig Improv (or you have equivalent experience) and you’re excited about joining the troupe, continuing to hone your skills, and making the commitment to practice and perform, then get in here and audition!

TROUPES: This pig is living the dream: We have TWO hearty and talented troupes who both aspire to bring real, evocative, in-the-moment improv to the stage. And we still want to grow!

  • FPI is looking for players who know that short and long form improv go hand-in-hand. We strive to do both at their highest levels.

  • We play at the top of our character’s intelligence; we make our partners look like geniuses, poets, and artists; we understand what slow improv is and we like it as much as (maybe even more than) the fast stuff.

  • We are impeccable with our words and use our characters, relationships, objectives, and environment, to do the rest.

  • We know what it means to be courageous and vulnerable at the same time.

  • We understand the commitment it takes to join a troupe and to be there for your fellow players on stage and off. 

  • We’ll work at performance level in practices and enthusiastically take to the stage for shows.

  • We believe in the importance of fundamental skills and will continue to strengthen them at every practice.

If this sounds like the kind of experienced improviser you are (or truly want to be), say “yes, and” AUDITION for one of our performance troupe. 

Monthly troupe dues are $40. This covers 2.5 hours per week for coached Troupe Practice one night of the week and at least one opportunity per month to perform on Friday or Saturday nights.

You will receive a copy of the House Rules for Troupe Members at the audition.

TROUPE TRAINING CLASS

By invitation only

Note: Max 15 people per class / over 18 years old

Schedule: Monday nights in Jan & Feb 2026 / 2.5 hours per class 

Price: $20 per class (Discounts available if you want to continue taking the Thursday Short & Long Drop-in class alongside this training class.)

This is a prep class to get you ready to join one of our troupes. You’ll have fun with drills and reps of the games and formats that we use in our shows, but the focus will be what it takes to put the show on its feet: How to be the Player in Charge of a show, how to get the theater show-ready, practicing the tech cues to start each show, and so much more.  Let’s get your performance muscles ready for the stage!

Come show us your improv stuff at auditions on Monday, 12/22 at 7:00 pm and invitations will be offered immediately after. 

Begins Jan 5

Pink Short Form

In PINK Short Form, we learn to play without so many words. In some improv games we secretly signal to our partners what they need to say to keep us out of trouble. In other games we use gibberish to heighten the players’ struggle (which also heightens the fun for the audience). The Short Form games we learn in PINK include Foreign Film, Location/Object/Weapon (LOW), Excuses, and many others.

Green Short Form Classes

GREEN Short Form focuses on space and object work. We don’t have props and costumes; no scenery or recorded soundscape. To lure our audience into our stories, we rely on the way we handle imaginary objects and the environment. The Short Form games we learn in GREEN include Freeze Tag, Lines from a Box, One-minute Fairy Tale among many others.
