IMPRO INSTITUT Competitors

We are more than an unforgettable night out, we also help organizations inspire better performance. We use the methods pioneered on our world-renowned stages to create meetings + events people don’t want to miss (or leave), content that connects because it’s funny and honest, and professional development programs that get people to change—because they get people. Through hundreds of engagements a year, we drive personal growth and organizational improvement. Interaction by interaction, we help people and companies get better at the things they do every day.

Story Pirates is a nationally respected education and media organization founded in 2003 to celebrate the words and ideas of young people. By pairing world-class teachers with first-rate actors and comedians, we offer a variety of tools to make learning more engaging and effective. Dually based in New York and Los Angeles, we are best known for the Idea Storm Program, a master-class writing workshop that brings teaching concepts to life, followed by a musical sketch comedy show featuring stories by students and performed by professional artists. Our acclaimed programs and professional development services for teachers are in place at over 250 schools from coast to coast.

Since 1981, iO Theater has inspired and trained generations of America’s greatest comedic talents. The skills we use to train talent on our stages are the same skills applied in collaborative settings across the entertainment and corporate world, in writer’s rooms, board rooms and beyond. We invite you to come to our shows when you're in the heart of Lincoln Park. Please contact us at mnolan@ioimprov.com for inquiries about corporate workshops and events.
