The Torch Theatre company came out of a collection of like-minded improv troupes that joined forces to make a stronger, more creative longform community in Phoenix, Arizona. It is modeled on the heart of theatrical improv: We are stronger together than we are alone.

We are moving to the next stage (literally!) and building our own space at 4721 N. Central. Having a physical presence is a big step towards being a bigger voice in the Phoenix creative community, but it comes with new challenges. We’re closer than ever to opening our doors. The walls are being painted and the light fixtures are going up. But there are still huge expenses during this final push.

We’ve been grateful for the enthusiasm of artists and supporters here in town and around the country. Just like we perform on stage, we need everyone's support to make this dream come true. We would love to have you involved. Please consider making a donation to help keep improv and creativity thriving in Phoenix.

When The Torch Theatre began in 2007, we sought to help improvisors hone their craft and spread the word about longform improv in Phoenix, Arizona. It's become so much more than that. It's a community for our local musicians, actors, poets, dancers, comedians, writers and creative artists of all kinds can find a home to nurture their love of self-expression and collaboration. Individuals from all walks have found an openly supportive theatre company to grow as people. Our performers and students have gone out and filled Phoenix with amazing performances, works and projects. We would love for The Torch Theatre to continue to be a strong voice in the choir making Phoenix an vibrant and creatively diverse community.

The Torch Theatre is a part of Carefree Write Productions Inc.
