Description

Join us at 1st Stage Theater for a high-impact, unscripted theatrical anthology. This isn’t a standard fundraiser—it is a fast-paced theatrical mashup featuring 14 of the region’s most creative ensembles, from Shakespearean bards and Broadway-style musicals to dramatic porch plays and sock puppets.

Your presence fuels our 100% volunteer-led mission to bring the cognitive and social benefits of improv to neighbors managing Parkinson’s, memory loss, and housing instability.

The Talent

UTP is the Alden’s professional teen improv company dedicated to bringing comedic performances to the community. They won 1st place at Improvicon of Northern Virginia in 2022, 2023 and 2025—and were the only teen group competing!
