(the) Unruly Theatre Project
(the) Unruly Improv is The Alden’s professional teen improv company dedicated to bringing comedic performances to the community. Members audition to be in the company and are paid for each performance or workshop they do for the community. UTP won 1st place at Improvicon of Northern Virginia in both 2022 and 2023—and were the only teen group competing!

Auditions
8th-11th graders only.
UTP’s season is late-September-May. Company members rehearse twice per week on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 7-9 p.m. Performances will be at local venues such as art galleries, the Old Firehouse Center and cafés. Because UTP is a professional opportunity, attendance at rehearsal is crucial.
Free Improv Workshops
Workshops are designed for the age group of those attending and provide an opportunity for participants to learn about the art form as well as teamwork, communication and creativity! Groups are not limited to only the younger ones, they can be scout troops at any level, young professional groups or even senior citizen groups! Generally, workshops are hosted by 3-4 members of UTP and include improv games as well as mini-performances by the company members.
