The Comedy Arena

What’s your favorite scary movie? Now imagine it being made up right in front of you.
Improvised Scary Movie is a completely improvised horror comedy where the cast creates an entire scary movie live on stage with no script, no clue what’s coming next, and no idea who will survive.
Inspired by the audience, our performers create the characters, the setting, the scares, the suspiciously bad decisions, and whatever terrifying thing is lurking in the dark. Expect horror movie tropes, unexpected twists, big laughs, and at least one person who absolutely should know better than to go in there alone.
It's a brand-new movie that has never been seen before and will never be seen again!
THE COMEDY ARENA'S Main Stage is located on the second floor, on the northwest corner of Hwy 5 and Virginia St. The main entrance is on the first floor, on Virginia St. There is an elevator at the rear of the building as well as a staircase both inside and outside of the building.
ENTERING &amp; SEATING
The House typically opens 30 minutes before showtime. Seats are only guaranteed until showtime. Ticket price may be more expensive at the door (if any remain).
All seating is based on size of party and when guests arrive at the show. We have cabaret style seating, so small tables with chairs around them. Most of our tables seat 4 people. If your group is smaller you may be sitting with another group, if it is larger you will have multiple tables next to each other. To ensure a whole table to your group, you need to buy 4 tickets.
ALL SALES ARE FINAL
No refunds or exchanges offered after the show. Please make sure you purchase tickets for the correct date and time. You may be able to have your tickets moved to a future event if you notify the box office 24 hours before the start of the show to which you have tickets.
There is a 2 Item (Food or Beverage) Minimum Per Person. This means each person must purchase 2 items off the menu. This can be an alcoholic, or non-alcoholic drink, or any of our food items. Once Seated; Food and Beverage service ends approx. 15 minutes before the show ends.
